Post Card Saturday!

Yes indeed, that time again! Post Card Saturday! On time and everything, too!

As promised, another "set" among the cards I have. At this point, you can likely guess what I mean by now, lol. All the cards are of the same picture on the front. Different cards, mind you, so they weren't all purchased at the same time, I just find it fascinating that they all ended up in this same batch!

Here they are again, a little closer. Notice the one that is "colorized". 

They appear to be from Switzerland, as both "Luzern" brought up "Lucern, Swizterland" in a quick search. And written lightly in pencil on one of the cards is "SWITZ" (you likely won't see it on the picture of the backs of the cards). 

Here are the flip sides. As you can see, only one has been written on and sent. 

The language of the printing has both German and French. And another has a pencil mark saying "Oct. 9, 1931". Odd, no?

Here is the card that's actually written on. The postmark is hard to make out, 1916 or possibly 1918. The date doesn't have the year. And the address isn't the US. A hotel in Valois, I think? (According to Wikipedia, it is a county in Northern France.)

But here's what it says, written in pencil: 

Lucerne    July 2        3:45 pm
Just arrived & now for my call. I have not conversed since Lausanne! The sky has become overcast. I think I shall have to call you up once more - tomorrow.  Thursday of about 7 p.m.  H. I. P.

Another interesting happenstance in this post card adventure. With again, questions I don't think will ever be answered. Still fun though, don't you think?
