Set: Nothomb
The eight postcards shown chronologically on this page were sent to attorney Albert Nothomb in Liège Belgium between 11/29/1904 and 4/15/1909. Set: Leuenberger shows 14 additional cards sent to Nothomb by J.A. Leuenberger. Nothomb was a postcard collector; Weidner 58 asks "Aimez-vous ces cartes?", Weidner 130 requests "des vue de paysage s.v.p.", and the message on Britton & Rey 594 requests postal exchange. "Thanks. Come again." on Weidner 133 and "Come again" on Müller 6 suggest that Nothomb may have visited California around the time of the 1906 earthquake.
Each card was initially stamped on the back, but sometime after the initial San Francisco cancellation the stamp was moved to the front.

- Mitchell 34, postmarked 9/22/1905, asks "Would you like to exchange German for Am. cards".
- Britton & Rey 594, postmarked 1/23/1906.
- Müller 6, postmarked 2/20/1906, says "Thanks. Come again.".
- Weidner 133, postmarked 5/04/1906, just over two weeks after the earthquake. Surprisingly, the message "Thanks. Come again" makes no mention of the quake; possibly Nothomb was visiting when it happened.
