From Arlon to France in 1919



This colored postcard was sent from Arlon on 16 August 1919 to Neuilly-sur-Seine in France. There is no cancel of arrival but there is little doubt that the postcard made the trip to its destination. Interestingly enough, Neuilly-sur-Seine was the place where a post-war peace treaty was signed a few months later, on 27 November 1919.
The picture shows a Hotel-Restaurant in an upscale neighborhood of Arlon.

Characteristics:
  • Single 5c+5c, exact franking
  • Foreign destination, but not exotic
  • No cancel of arrival
Estimated value: $50
