EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print from Holt's Battlefields Collection showcases a rare Belgain Internal Circulation Postcard dating back to around 1870. The postcard features extra printed strips at each end, providing instructions in both French and Flemish about where the card can be used. It was originally posted in Louvain on 5 June 1874, offering a glimpse into the postal communication methods of the time.
The intricate details on this historical postcard offer a window into the past, highlighting the bilingual nature of Belgium and its government regulations regarding internal mail circulation. The careful design and printing of these cards demonstrate the importance placed on clear communication within the country during this period.
As we admire this vintage postcard, we are transported back to a time when handwritten messages were carefully penned and sent through traditional mail services. The craftsmanship and attention to detail on display here serve as a reminder of simpler times when communication required patience and precision.
