12/12/2021 12:04 PM This image of the address side of a postcard mailed from Poland and addressed to Mr. Lew in Chicago corresponds to the message side also posted on ViewMate. It's written in the Sutterlin script. According to Wikipedia, Sutterlin was taught in German schools between 1915 and 1941. I've been told that the language is probably German.
