Two rppc's have writing, the rest blank or copyrighted in 1931. A traveler addresses two cards to the Beach family in New York City, one franked in 1933 enjoying his tour of Russia in four days. The other card has an image of the Exposition Internationale Paris 1937, and writes on the verso: "We've been to the exhibition - disappointing, very unready and uninteresting as yet. The German & Russian Buildings complete. Expressive of each nation as to size. They frighten me. We are off to Switzerland tomorrow, and pleased to go." All in very good condition.
