Notes
On the front there is a portrait of I. L. Perez with his arms crossed in front of him, and a thick border at the bottom. On the back is a stamp from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire with a portrait of Kaiser Franz Joseph, worth 5 Heller. Isaac Leib Peretz (also known as Yitskhok Leybush Peretz) and Icchok Lejbusz Perec or Izaak Lejb Perec (in Polish)), (May 18, 1852 – 3 April 1915), was a Yiddish language author and playwright. Narrative: This postcard was written by Bernhard Kissman (Donor's father) to his fiancee Fritzi Winter (Donor's mother) who lived at that time with her parents in Tescheutz, Bukowina. They got married in July 1913. Bernhard Kissman worked at various places in forestry. Postcards between them were written daily, often a letter followed.
