Vilnius 1928

Góra Zamkowa by L. Wysocki (High resolution)


Mickiewicz street (now Gediminas avenue)

2 nice postcards sent in 1928 from Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania) to Bezons, France, now a suburb of Paris. Both postcards have a semi-postal stamp "na oswiate" which was on my wanted list for a long time, I finally got the chance to obtain it with a Wilno cancellation. This semi-postal set has only these 2 stamps so I was lucky to complete it in once. The picture of the first postcard has been taken by a photographer L. Wysocki. I have posted in high resolution because it is a pretty rare picture of the Góra Zamkowa (castle hill).
