ABSOLUTELY RARE Early Soviet USSR ANTIQUE POSTCARD
RARE 100% ORIGINAL ITEM
A rare postcard with a portrait of Woodrow Wilson - the President of the North American States. It was published in Russia in 1917 (a few months after the 1917 Russian revolution). The postcard is dedicated to the declaration of war by America against Germany in WWI. On the back is a quote from President Wilson's speech: 'One of the things that has served to convince us that the Prussian autocracy was not and could never be our friend'.
The peculiarity of this postcard is that it is one of the latest publications of the Skobelevsky Committee (Russia). The Skobelevsky Committee is a charitable organization established on November 26, 1904 in connection with the Russian-Japanese War on the initiative of General Skobelev's sister, Princess Nadezhda Dmitrievna Beloselskaya-Belozerskaya (1847-1920). The charter was signed on June 16, 1905. The original name was "The Committee named after Adjutant General M. D. Skobelev for issuing allowances to soldiers who lost their ability to work in the war". He was under the highest patronage of the emperor. After the October Revolution, the work of the Committee was practically paralyzed, despite the fact that in December 1917, according to the newly approved charter, its cultural and educational activities were allowed. In April 1918, the Committee was finally liquidated, and its property and capital were nationalized.
This is a really rare collectible postcard for collectors of a piece of American history.
