1917 Postcard Austrian 8 heller Franz Joseph, w/ Lemberg and Censor cancels.
8 heller Franz Josef stationery postal card
kaiserliche konigliche osterreichische post
Imperial Royal Austrian Post
Message in Polish, I believe (begins 'Dearest Mother'). dated 4.7.1917.
PM Lemberg, addressed to Lwowie (both translate to Lviv Ukraine, relatively near Poland. Many in Lviv spoke Polish)
Red Censor cancel: 'K.u.K. Zensuren Zensuriert (?) and something unreadable, 112 maybe.
(k. u. k. stands for kaiserlich und königlich (English: imperial and royal) This abbreviation was used in the Austro-Hungarian empire to refer to empire-wide state affiliations. The red cancel shows, I believe, that the Censors have examined the card).
Condition Good; slight corner wear, some discoloration; see scans
