Published under the auspices of the Universal Postal Union, these official United States postcards are franked with a 2-cent printed stamp (Liberty Head profile) and sent to Europe, notably Strasbourg. Dating from the late 19th to the early 20th century, they bear witness to the international circulation of mail at the time. The refined handwriting, transatlantic postmarks, and bilingual typography (English/French) make them philatelic items of great historical and graphic interest. Sold individually (random selection).
