Montevideo, Intendencia Municipal

Montevideo, Intendencia Municipal

This unused card is most interesting on the back.  First, it was issued by Oficina Municipal de Propaganda e Informaciones — and even without speaking Spanish, that’s impressive.  Next, the caption (“Obelisco a los Constituyentes de 1830”) is printed vertically through the middle of the card.  There’s also a nice big B&W municipal logo.  All in all, for the cost of two beers at the bar near us, you could have this slice of Uruguyan history.  Grade: 3
