Beach view from Siljan
The design of the back of a postcard is one tool used in determining the age of the card. Axel Eliasson's cards from the 1890's contain only one word "Brefkort", literally 'letter card', for postcard on the back. About 1900 the French "Carte Postale" was included. About 1906 or 1907 it was printed in 14 different languages. About this time the spelling in Swedish was changed from "Brefkort" to "Brevkort" and this appeared twice at the top of the card.
