seated with a postcard album and you see both some cards in the album and the advertising
for the "Croissant" logo. The name of company and address are at top.

MS199-This
daredevil is crossing the Falls on a light wire. His name was Pro. Morrell and I do

top of the Falls. Un, EX $50.00 |

love, royalty, etc. Un, near Mint $85.00 |

but very sophisticated drawing of a devil's head is set
off by a bright
red background. The verse (filling in the word 'devil' where the image appears) is
"The devil take these postcards." Not when they look like this!
Actual card looks better than scan because it is done on a quality stock. Un,
British postcard back, very faint trace of small smudge on front; overall EX $45.00 |
|

German issue of the Red Cross uses a wonderful image of St. George dressed as a medieval
knight slaying the dragon. The card has the signature of the artist, Viktor Muller

clean; overall VG $35.00 |
