Overall "aerial" view of Chortkov, dated 1938. The printer was M Fränkel. Submitted by Susana Leistner Bloch.	Postcard with a nice street scene of Chortkov. The date is obscured by the stamp, but the stamp is from the Austrian Empire (see next). Submitted by Susana Leistner Bloch.
This postcard was submitted by Susana Leistner Bloch who writes as follows. "This is the back of the postcard shown previously. The image is of a crown and the words going around it are 'Kaiserliche - Königliche - Österreichische - Post' and the stamp value is 10 heller. There is a rubber stamp that says: 'Zensurstelle Stanislau' So I assume that mail was censored in those days as the words mean : Sensor Station Stanislau. The postcard has the words: Ulica Mickiewiicza. Ulica means street."
