The forever lost beauty!…
Lovely set of postcards, very interesting indeed.
its a lovely and beautiful set of cards
The Images number 12 and 13 show Warszawa (Warsaw), not Russia.
And there’s one from Riga too…
Both part of the Russian Empire, at the time
I suspect image 3 to be Warsaw Poland as well (Pl. Trzech Krzyzy). Maybe also image 2 is Warsaw – Praga side.
Image 2 is St. Petersburg
