RU-3878481
Welcome to Belarus
Niasvizh
Astute blog watchers will notice that this card is from Belarus but has a Russian (RU) prefix instead of a Belarussian (BY) one! The sender was visiting her grandmother in Belarus and sent this card from there, so (in Postcrossing terms) this was technically a card sent from Russia, but actually mailed from Belarus!)
The card features Niasvizh Castle, a World Heritage site.

Le Pont-Neuf, 1872 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
If you play the "guess the country from the Postcrossing code" game and thought "CH = China", you would be wrong. "CH" stands for Switzerland.
The painting of this card is held at the national Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.

Boy stretches to put his mail into this 1890's collection box. Doremus-style mailboxes like this were as universal as blue mail boxes today.
