1909 (6 Sep) picture postcard franked with 3k red, sent from Sevastopol to Alupka (a resort city located in the Crimean peninsula), by the zoologist Ivan Ivanovich Puzanov (addressed to Dr. V. Ya. Polunin who owned a dacha in New Simeiz and was Puzanov's neighbor). With handstamp "Steamship Meotida". (The message reads, "Honorable neighbor! Did you hear the whistle when the Meotida passed New Simeiz at 6 AM on 4 September? I wonder. I think only the janitor Stefan heard it. In three days, or even sooner, we will once again pass Simeiz and then I will come ashore. You are welcome to inspect the ship but be warned: there are no sick people on board. On the 15th I will finally disembark at Simeiz and stay there for a week. Regards, I. Puzanov-Chernomorsky." In 1909, while a student at Moscow University, Puzanov obtained some practical experience at the Sevastopol Biological Station by taking part in an expedition to collect specimens of marine life along the southern coast of Crimea from Cape Lucullus (north of Sevastopol) to Kerch. The Ministry of Trade and Industry put the small steamship Meotida at the disposal of the expedition from 15 August to 15 September. In his book, Puzanov says that on 4 September, the ship was returning to Sevastopol from Kerch; on 6 September (when this card was mailed) he and the ship were in Sevastopol; on 9 September the ship made a 30 minute stop in Simeiz; on 15 September the expedition ended in Yalta and the ship returned to Sevastopol without him; he sailed to Simeiz that evening on the yacht Tatiana; at the end of September he returned to Moscow. His signature is a humorous imitation of those of famous explorers who were given the right to add territorial names to their family names, Chernomorsky referring to the Black Sea. The photograph on the back has an arrow pointing to the Sevastopol Biological Station which still exists in the same building under the name A. O. Kovalevsky Institute of Marine Biology Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences), Ex-Casey (Image)

1914 (12 May) 4k stationery card (sent by French irrigation engineer Louis Cugnin) from the Bukharan town of Termez on the Afghan border to France. The message reads, "I received your letter of 8 May and it gave me much joy. Your letter arrived faster than I did because the mail crosses the Pamir Mountains to join the railway at Samarkand. I am the only French engineer along with three Russian engineers sent by the Russian banks. My mission will take only a few months and involves inspecting irrigation projects in Khiva, near the Aral Sea, and in the Caucasus, near the Persian border. I am permitted to write only post cards. Russian Turkestan, and especially the important border fortress at Termez, is closed to foreigners. I needed a special authorization from the Tsar. The country is very interesting. The mountains are always covered with snow, yet the climate is tropical. The heat is terrific - at least 35 degrees at night." (Image)
