The names and messages on these cards are unreadable to us. Both cards are postmarked in Settsu, Osaka (摂津大坂), with dates of June 22, 1889, and February 17, 1889.
The February card is particularly interesting because it shows red ink postmark impressions on the reverse side in mirror image. This suggests that the cards were stacked with some weight on them, causing the ink from another card’s postmark to transfer onto the back of this one.
