C03955 HUNGARIAN SOLDIER'S PHOTOGRAPH POSTCARD.
BACKGROUND:
Basic human instinct dictates that soldiers in the field, regardless of nationality, long for their loved ones at home. As a result it was very common for these soldiers to purchase, or appropriate, "sweetheart" items and send them home. Although there was almost an unlimited selection of "sweetheart" items one of the most popular items were the photograph postcards which were relatively inexpensive, easily mailed and distinctly personal.PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Roughly, 5 3/8" x 3 1/4", mid-weight card stock postcard with a black and white photograph of two Hungarian Soldiers, with their arms around each others backs, smiling on a sunny day. On the reverse are, a set of vertical lines separating the back into two spaces, the left side blank except for a hand written "1940" and the right side that has a rectangular box in the upper right for a stamp and below that four horizontal line for text. The photograph is still very bright and clear with minimal fading and yellowing.
