Three Historic Postcards from Galyatető, Szőce, and Érd
Three Hungarian towns, three postal journeys, and three originals that preserve a piece of bygone Hungary. This selected postcard set combines historic town and landscape views from Galyatető, Szőce, and Érd.
The old postcard from Mátra-Galyatető shows a serene winter landscape with a view of the Kékes in the Mátra Mountains. Issued in 1927, the image harks back to the early days of hiking and winter tourism around Galyatető and Mátraszentimre.
The multi-view card from Szőce in Vas County is dated July 6, 1943. It features the Roman Catholic parish church of Szőce, surrounded by waters, paths, meadows, and historic landscape views from the Őrség region.
The card from Érd near Budapest bears the traditional greeting "Üdvözlet Érdről" (Greetings from Érd). Its three photographs preserve former streets, green areas, and buildings from Érd in Pest County, offering an authentic glimpse into the townscape of that time.
All three postcards are written on, stamped, and postally used. The original Hungarian stamps, postmarks, handwritten messages, and age-related traces are part of the history of these cards and make each piece unique.
This collection is aimed at collectors of old postcards from Hungary, local and family history researchers, and people with a personal connection to Galyatető, Mátraszentimre, Kékes, Szőce, Vas County, the Őrség, Érd, or Budapest.
You will receive precisely the three original cards shown, with their corresponding historic backs. No reprints, no reproductions – but three genuine historical documents that have been preserved over decades.
