The soaring Flemish Renaissance belfry and Gothic church of Sint-Walburga dominate the Grote Markt of Veurne — the Belgian town called Furnes in French — in this striking 1948 real-photo card mailed from the town itself to a scholar in Szeged, Hungary, where the sender J.H. fills every millimeter of the back with a densely packed academic letter in English, discussing Renaissance Flemish humanists, an Erasmus epitaph of 1536, a poem by Olah, and a volume called the Cranevetium, connecting Belgian coastal history to Hungarian literary scholarship in the extraordinary way that only a postcard could carry across postwar Europe. The Belgian 1F75 Victory lion stamp ties the card to the hopeful reconstruction years after World War II.
