How did it get there?
The postcard illustrated here was written in Dorpat on 7 October 1893. Can we identify to whom it was sent and how it got there using the postmarks?

Alexander Epstein offers the following information for this item.
The card was addressed to the railway station of Korsovka (now Karsava in Latvia), estate Lyamonovo for Karl Fedorovich Verner. Its way seems to be
the following. Having been put in the mailbox of TPO No. 90 Taps-Riga on 7 Oct., it was reloaded at Valk, directed there to Pskov by the TPO No. 126,
then to Ostrov where arrived on 8 Oct. The next day, i.e. 9 Oct. the card was dispatched (it seems erroneously) to the village of Kryukovo. Evidently,
it was returned then to Ostrov and sent then by the railway line connecting Pskov and Rezhitsa to Korsovka finding itself on the same line.
