During WW II and up to 1949 postcards were censored to check that they did not provide any military useful information (landscapes, maps etc).
The cards were marked by the printers, and could not be sold without the cancellation.
In 1948 the sale of postcards was turned into a state monopoly. All cards were given the cancellation MONOPOLUL CARTILOR POSTALE ILLUSTRATE.
All these cancellations do not affect censorship of text.
