Cards for Lulu Woodin

These cards appear to have been given to Lulu Woodin on the same day one week apart in July of 1898. I thought at first that they might have been given out by a Sunday school teacher, but the dates are both Fridays. Still, maybe it was some kind of summer instruction?

    Lovely cards, the first is a bit wintery for a card given in July.

    I was thinking that they were strange for July too. I wonder what caused the image to show on the back.

    Maybe acid in the inks caused the bleed-through. I really like the bird postcard. That's been one of my new topics to go after in my postcard collecting. Thanks for the post!

    They might have been given as a summer Bible school activity?

    Sehr hübsch, genau wie die alte Ansicht aus Marseille. Diese Stadt hat man mitlerweile richtig kaputt gemacht. Hübsch ist da nicht mehr viel
