Finland

Three patriotic Finnish Cards

The card on the right was printed for the American market, while the other two were ostensibly printed for the Finnish market.  It is unknown if they actually were sold in Finland.

The top card is the one printed for the American market.  Despite bearing used stamps the two made for the Finnish market were most likely not postally used.  Both stamps were previously used prior to being affixed to the cards.  This was most likely done to enhance the card's value since at this time Finland was under the control of Russia.  In 1904-05 Russia was involved in the Russo-Japanese war and there is clear reference to Japan in the suns rays as it is breaking over the horizon.  See also: http://www.jiv.dk/finland/history_patriotic.php

The two cards made for the Finnish marker are numbered, while the American market card is not.  The card's number possibly indicates that the cards were printed in 1910, and were number 147 on the printing plate.

Nr. 3074 Från Sveriges Bygder

From Sweden's Districts

We unfortunately do not know where this photo was taken or who the photographer is.  We do know that the photographer took a photo at the same time that was used on a card that was imported in to the U.S. by both Svenska Amerikanaren, Chicago and Fredrik Peterson, Boston. 

The front of the card imported in to the U.S. by Svenska Amerikanaren and Fredrik Peterson.

It is interesting to note that the spaces for the correspondance and the address are reversed from where they should be!

Nr. 3073. Från Sveriges Bygder

From Sweden's Districts

The card above was used in 1904.  The color of the back is a medium brown which is less common than the green back. 

  

Axel Eliasson printed cards for the mainland European market.  This card was used in Italy, possibly in 1903.  Only Axel's initials appear on the lower left front of the card along with the card's number.
