Panevėžys 1907

ПоневѢж / Ponevezh (now Panevėžys, Lithuania)
It's a postal stationery sent in 1907 from ПоневѢж / Ponevezh (now Panevėžys, Lithuania) to Виндава/Vindava (now Ventspils, Latvia. Better known in the german name Windau). The letter "Ѣ" in ПоневѢж is not in use anymore in modern russian and mostly replaced by a simple "e". Cancellation of both "Поневеж" and "ПоневѢж" exists.
