[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] An old postcard

[Richard Benert]

I'm just guessing, but could the left column possibly be something like "Hier schicke ich dir ein Bild von mir.  Wie findest du mich hier?  Ich bin nicht sehr ___ aus ___bildern”

I’m sending you here a picture of me.  How do you think I look?  I am not very....... (out of?) ___pictures.  (This last sentence is puzzling. Could it be a disclaimer about why he’s not good-looking enough in this photo?)

On the right side, I am only wondering if what Paul thought was “nach” might really be “mich”, followed by a couple of words that look like “besser.”  Was he saying something about his health improving????

Again, only guessing.  More help needed!

Mauricio,

     One clue must be the stamp in the top right corner,

Fotografia
L. Grande
Danfield

Does Danfield or Banfield mean anything to you?

  The text is in German, but I can not read all of it,

====

Liebe Kousine!
Hier schicke ich dir
ein Bild von
---. Wie fin-
dest Du --- ---
ich bin nicht
----  aus -----

Voriges Jahr so bin

recht herzlichen ...

====

Even if I got all the words right (some are guesses)
it doesn't tell us much, except that it's written to a
female cousin.

====

  Dear Cousin,

  Here I send you a picture of ...

What do you think
(or how are you)

   I am not ...

  Last year I went to ...

  Right heart-felt ..

   Can anyone fill in a bit more?
   There probably is some sort of signature towards the
end, right where the shadow is deepest.
