Nr 3072 From Sweden's Districts
Prior to 1906 messages on cards were only permitted on the front, where a space was left for it. The backs were undivided and only the address to whom the card was going was permitted. The Universal Postal Union changed the rules allowing the backs of cards to become divided. Half of the back would be for the address and half for a message. We don't know exactly when this card was used because someone has removed the stamp that was used to mail the card with. The back of this card is undivided, while the front does not contain a space for the message. This leads me to believe the card was printed about 1907 about the time the rules were changed to allow messages on the back of a postcard.
