Nr 3045.  Gellivare med Dundret och Turisthyddan
 Card nr 3045, Gellivare with Thunder and Tourist Hut.  The hill south-west of town Dundret (Thunder) is now part of a nature reserve.  The town's name is now spelled Gällivare, rather than Gellivare as it is spelled on these cards.

The back of the card.  This version of the card was printed about 1902 based on the design of the card's back.  Carte Postale is written in capitalized block letters with no period at the end and Import is spelled "Jmport".  On the front of the card we see Axel Eliassons Konstförlag, Stockholm No 3045 which is typical of his cards.


Nya Paper-handeln (Jens Lannge) Luleå
This version of Axel's card 3045 is printed for Jens Lannge's New Paper Shop in Luleå.  We also know this is an Axel card because his initials appear in the front lower right.  This card was used in 1906.
