AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Postcards traveled between France and Boma (Belgian Congo) with various stamps on the back. At the time, an Italian pharmacist moved to Congo (in Boma) and placed ads in several newspapers to create a kind of philatelic and scenic chain. This is a part of his collection. In some postcards the Italian stamp is also shown, as, upon reaching a certain age, he returned to Italy (in Silvi Marina) and the postcards were sent to him from Boma to his new Italian address. The postcards are dated 1908/1909. They bear signs of a collector at the corners and age marks, but overall they are in excellent condition considering they are over a century old. They are all small format and in black and white except for a few illustrated ones (all visible in the photo).
