U.K., U.S.

A substantial, exceptionally well-organized, and historically rich collection of 231 collectible postcards, securely housed in a heavy 20-page plastic sleeve album with a total weight of 2.55 kg. Meticulous Page-by-Page Layout: The album is professionally curated and strictly divided into two thematic sections for the buyer's convenience: - Pages 1 to 15 (Topographical "Cities" Section - 180 postcards): A massive selection of European (predominantly Belgian Belle Époque) and international city views. All 49 postally used cards with original stamps and clear historical cancellations are placed in a consecutive sequence at the beginning, perfectly arranged 6-by-6 to display both fronts and postmarked backs simultaneously. - Pages 16 to 20 (Thematic "Bridges" Section - 51 postcards): A dedicated, highly collectible section entirely focused on historical bridges. Features 14 postally used cards with early 20th-century cancellations and stamps, arranged in the same transparent manner. Postal History Gems: Includes a highly collectible late 19th-century US "Private Mailing Card" (bearing the official May 19, 1898 Congress Act print) with absolute provenance proven by an Antwerp arrival back-stamp from February 20, 1902. Mid-century Belgian history is also well-represented by a series of King Baudouin definitive stamps. Every single card has been individually removed, verified, and cataloged for full transparency. Condition: General vintage condition varies from good to excellent. Early cards show authentic age-related wear, toning, and genuine postal handling, which enhances their historical value. The heavy album structure is solid and perfectly preserves the collection. Ready for secure worldwide shipping.
