I bought a group of postcards in a flea market in Mexico. This card was mailed from the Harderwijk Internment Camp (Netherlands) during WWI. It was sent to Mexico City. The message was written in Esperanto, the widely used and spoken international language at the end of the 19th and the early 20th centuries. The interesting label was placed on reverse. I wonder how it passed the censorship.
