Venezia – Canal Grande (Italy)
We had not seen cards like this before. It’s old, and measures 1-7/8″ x 5-5/8″. Mailed in 1911, on the back you’ll find the stamp, two large Venice Ferrovia postmarks, and part of one from Boston — even though the card had been mailed to New Hampshire. We were interested to see that the Venetian postmarks were dated 11th May, and the Boston one was dated 22nd May. So that’s how long the sea transit took. Not bad. A wonderful addition to your collection. Grade: 1
