Nr 59. Svenska fiskare.

Card nr 59 is of Swedish fishermen!  The photographer is Alfred B Nilson of Helsingborg and the photo was apparently taken in 1906.  Look at the faces of these hardworking men.

 Who is Alfred B Nilson of Helsingborg?
Rut Wiberg used this card in 1907.  Her message to Ester Borgström is simple Heartiest Congratulations on Ester's birthday most likely.  The used stamp has been glued to the card.  Did this happen in 1907 or later?  Even had Rut not written the date on the card we would have been able to date the card to ~1907 because of the design of the back.  It is now divided allowing for a message to be included on the back rather than the front.  This allows for the front to be used solely for the photograph.  Brefkort is written in three languages: Swedish, French and English.
