From Liège to Vitré (France) in 1919

This color postcard was sent from Liège to Vitré in France on 15 October 1919.
The photograph (black-and-white photo with superimposed colors) shows the Theater in Liege. Color postcards were a novelty at the time.

Characteristics:

5c+5c (exact franking)
Sock-on-the-nose cancel
Foreign destination, but not exotic
No cancel of arrival, but there is little doubt that the card actually traveled

Estimated value: $65
