Vilnius 1937



This is a Polish postal stationery sent in 1937 from Wilno (now Vilnius. Lithuania) to Brussels, Belgium,  somehow spelled "Brussel" which is the Dutch spelling. It has a nice machine cancel with a slogan "zwalczymy ciemnote" (let's fight ignorance) which is probably trying to encourage people to go to school or to get an education. The value imprinted is 30 Gr. with the illustration of magnificent castle of Mir, now in Belarus.
