And on page 177 he shows the stamps used by the censors in this town and gives detailedinformation on them:Fig. 3: Excerpt from Marinescu, »Cenzura Potal Militarîn România 1914 – 1940«, page 177The head line sub nr. 69 means „Stamps used at the censor station in Sighetul Marmaiei”,the colours in column 6 are V=violet and N=black. For our purposes the stamps 69.3 to 69.5are of special interest.Fig. 4: Excerpt from Horváth, »Kárpátaljai postatörténeti füzetek 3«, page 25The Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 6 (July 2009) Page 8
And the most current list can be found in number 3 of Lajos Horváth’s series of booklets onthe postal history of the Kárpátalja with the title »Hucul köztársaság, nyugat-ukránok ésideiglenes román megszállás 1918-1921« (Hutsul republic, West-Ukrainian and temporaryRomanian occupation 1918-1921), published 2007 in Nyírtelek.The title is again „Stamps of Romanian censors in Máramarossziget 1919-1920”, the firstcolumn means „Text of the stamp”, the second „place where it was found”, and the third„time of use”. The word „után” means after or later than. (No, I don’t speak Hungarian –but a proper dictionary is always a good friend.) The names given are those of collectors –you will recognize Simády and T-T; Voloncs Gábor and Miroslav Bachratý are still active.Enough of literature references — let us go to relevant pieces of postal history:Fig. 5: Photocard, Nagybocskó, February 4, 1919, to ViennaThe shown piece is a photocard written January 25,1919 and sent from Nagybocskó to Vienna. The text(in German) is:„Lieber FranzHier sende ich Dir eine fesche Ruthenin. Ich überlassees Dir, mit Ihr zu spinnen, von mir aus auch einLiebesverhältnis. Es grüßt Dich Deine Mutter“Translated:„Dear FranzI am sending to You a pretty Ruthenian. I leave it toYou to weave with her, if You want, weave a lovingrelationship. Greetings from Your mother”And the sender gives her address as „bei R. Larasch,Nagy Ibacsko, […] Fabrik, Ungarn”, so obviously shecould not write the name of the place correctly andworked in some local factory.Fig. 5a: Front side of photocardThe Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 6 (July 2009) Page 9
