RUSSIAN EMPIRE postage stamps issued on 2 January 1913 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Romanov Dynasty.
The orange 1-kopeck stamp features Czar Peter I; the green 2-kopeck stamp features Czar Alexander II; and the red 4-kopeck stamp features Czar Peter I.
The circular postmarks are dated "14. 11. 13" (14 November 1913) and appear to indicate the city of origin was St. Petersburg. They were used in Finland, which was a Grand Duchy under Russian rule at the time.
The postcard is addressed to Mr. H. Paanu in Turku, Finland. The address is listed as Läntinenkatu 1a.
