Greetings from Livorno #2

Today we are starting to post a series of old “Saluti da Livorno” (Greetings from Livorno) postcards. These first two were published by Künzli Frères in Zurich around 1900 and clearly they are not photos.

    What a lucky person Antonio Cantelli is.
    Unique cards like this is not only beautiful but also very valuable.
