    Censored envelope from Podkamien, near Brody (as per senders address) to Vienna, showing provisional usage of unoverprinted Austria 5 h. dark green + 20 h. light green tied by "LWOW 2/12.IX.19", with Krakow censor label at left and and Jewish National Fund label on front and Herzl Jewish National label on reverse. Scarce and appealing cover in fine condition, only few such usages recorded. Detailed certificate Ceremuga AIEP (2011). Cover was carried privately by courier of a Jewish organisation (hence JNF labels) and posted in Lwow. Although Polish administration in Galicia declared Austrian adhesives invalid (since 20 January  1919), some later usages has been tolerated, especially from borders areas where Polish stamps were not available.
