Poland: Old View of Kraków

Last Monday I got a postcard from Poland.

It shows an old view of Kraków with the Wawel Hill and the Vistula River. It is a nice reminder of my trip there last year and it is interesting to see how it changed. This view is from 1896.


Even more important than the card is the nice stamp. It is Poland's EUROPA stamp for this year (issued 29-04-2020) and deals with the Vistula River as old postal route. I really like the little illustrations of some of the most important Polish cities like Kraków, Warsaw and Gdansk. To reach the current postage for a card to Germany a second stamp was added. This one shows a sunflower (issued 26-06-2015).


Thank You very much Wojtek!
