Olympics gymnastic champions – Larisa Iordache
Google “Catena Romania” and you’ll learn this is, probably amongst other things, a large online pharmacy. And we present here a short series of unused postcards celebrating various Romanian sports champions. We’ve not done research on each of these individual gymnasts, though our source Tatiana explained their different events and backgrounds. The cards’ designs indicate all were Olympians, and so they are; though as you will see if you read the next few entries, some of the named locations either never sponsored Olympics, or not in those years. Anyway … this card, the first in the series, shows Lorisa Iordache. Grade: 1

Bucharest, National Village Museum “Dimitrie Gusti,” Vrancea costume
Refer to earlier, similar entries about cards like these. This unused one, of folkwear from Vrancea, shows an example from the late 19th century.

Bucharest, National Village Museum “Dimitrie Gusti,” Oaș costume
As with other, similar cards in this series, this unused one shows early 20th-century folk costume examples, from Oaș, The Ossetian port. Tataiana’s explanation of the history and evolution of these is phenomenal, and we can only imagine how critical such clothing and adornments were/are to the culture. Worthy of a graduate seminar! Two cards are available. Grades: 1

Bucharest, Monumentul I.C. Brătianu

The monument of Ion C. Brătianu, Prime Minister of Romania several times over, was designed by architect Petre Antonescu and made by the French sculptor Ernest Henri Dubois after winning an international competition organized in 1900. It was inaugurated on May 18, 1903 at the intersection of Colței Boulevard (now IC Brătianu Boulevard) with King Carol I Boulevard, on the occasion of the 12th anniversary of the death of Brătianu . The monument was funded by public subscription. We just felt like explaining this old view on a contemporary (2013) unused card from the Municipal Museum. There’s more to the story, right up until now. Curious? Google. Grade: 1

A photo from the good old days, on a reproduction card dated 2013 from Bucharest’s Municipal Museum. If you go to Google, as we did, you’ll find the building (at least) is still there, and called “Grand Hôtel du Boulevard” (maybe) but you will come away not knowing much else about it. Grade: 1

Postcards from Romania by Eugen Mihai (set of 10)
The ten glossy, unused cards in this set produced by Romanian military photographer Eugen Mihai are all shown on its paper cover. Each postcard has a complete and informative bilingual (English/Romanian) caption and represents one or another of a variety of scenes around the country — including a fortress, IAR 99 Standard military jet trainers, TR-85 M1 battle tank, Bucharest’s Palace of Parliament, Castelui Peles (Sinaia), the training ship “Mircea”, night view from Bucharest’s North Railway Station, Horezu Monastery, The Gate of the Kiss, and Hunyadi Castle. This great set came to us via our friend Tatiana, and — given the special circumstances of the cards’ production — if you read this and want to order directly from Mr. Mihai, we’ll tell you how to do that.

Not incidentally, Beiuș is in Bihor County, near the Apuseni Mountains. The river Crișul Negru flows through, and the city administers a single village, Delani. Between the late 18th and early 20th centuries, Beiuș constituted one of the most important learning centres of the Romanian language in Crișana. Grade: 1

Locomotiva Pasarea Maiastra
Sorry that our header misses the extra symbols but this is a fine postcard on both sides, though it does not qualify as a maximum card because (A) there’s no cancellation on the front, and (B) the stamp design is not a match. Never mind all that, the card was mailed in 2021 with large stamp and sticker, and special postmark. If you like unusual trains, this one’s for you. Grade: 1

Perhaps not too well-known outside of Romania, Aurelian Pană (1880-1951) was a right-wing Romanian politician, Minister of Agriculture and Domains, and president of the agricultural union, killed during Communist persecution.

Posta Romana, 155 Anniversary
How quaint of Posta Romana to issue its own special card for their 155th anniversary in 2017. There seem to have been 5000 of these printed. Too bad they all don’t have (the other) GPS trackers so we might know what happened to them along with all the other mail that disappears into their system. Unused, Grade: 1

People
We must be careful to describe this postcard accurately. It’s not old. It is unused. The Muzeul National al Agriculturil took a very old undivided back card and reproduced it, warts and all, on both sides — leaving the printed reproduction of the stamp and partial postmark, but eliminating any address. So it’s a recent card that looks old, with a faux stamp printed on the reverse. Grade: 1
