Description
English: Postal card from Copenhagen to Fellin (Livonia, Imperial Russia), present-day Viljandi in Estonia. Sent 18 January 1905, arrived 9 January 1905. No mistake. Russia still used the Julian calendar, which was 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar in Western Europe. The Gregorian date for 9 January was 22 January. The postal card's journey took four days.
