Coleciile de carte potal reprezint o cronic n

diverse secvene din viaa cotidian n anumite
perioade istorice. Imaginile reprezint un document istoric care ofer posibilitatea contactului
direct cu epoca studiat, prezint viziunile personalitilor implicate n evenimente, formeaz
deprinderi de nvare prin descoperire, pun n
eviden diverse opinii despre acelai fenomen
sau proces i provoac atitudini interogative n
faa realitii istorice. n acest context se nscrie
i cartea potal de patrimoniu cu imaginea Cafeneaua Manikov1, aceasta fiind i punctul de
plecare al comunicrii. Cafeneaua este unica instituie de acest gen din perioada modern care
s-a bucurat de imortalizare sub forma de carte
potal i care completeaz frumoasele colecii
cartofilice. Este o imagine alb-negru, necirculat; faa verso este separat de o linie vertical la
mijloc, unde n partea stng se scria mesajul, iar
n dreapta adresa, marca potal i nsemnul potal. Deoarece anul ediiei este lips, acest detaliu
ne ajut s constatm, cu aproximaie, perioada

69-74), menionm c ilustrata a fost editat n
perioada anilor 1904-1908, deoarece n aceast perioad pe faa verso a ilustratelor se utiliza
inscripia (scrisoare deschis), ulterior aceasta fiind nlocuit cu

economic, social i cultural. n acest context, instituiile de agrement, care fac parte din categoria
localurilor publice, sunt o parte component din
viaa cotidian a locuitorilor oraului Chiinu i

au fost acceptate de societate noile instituii de
agrement, cine frecventa aceste localuri iat doar

interesting is a postcard from the museum collection, which depicts Cafe Mankov a place where more than a
century ago the Chiinu cream of society loved spending time. The history of this coffee house is associated with
the name of A.I. Mankov, a prosperous businessman of the second half of 19th - early 20th centuries. Initially, in the
1880s, it was located in the building of the Diocesan House (the Alexandrovskaia Street), where A. Mankov rented
premises, and since 1901 it has moved into the Schwartzmans House (the Pushkinskaia Street), a rented space as
well. In 1905, the cafe was opened in a specially built building in Fountain Lane (between the Sinadinovskaia and
Pushkinskaia Streets) known as Cafe Mankov, with an interesting architecture, European interior, and tastefully
furnished terraces. Cafe Mankov was one of the first buildings in Chiinu which was electrified (1907). It soon
became a favorite place of leisure for Chiinu dwellers, where one could drink tea or coffee with Swiss chocolate,
enjoy a delicious cake, as well as have lunch or dinner. The cafe existed until 1934, when A. Mankov died at the age
of 92 years. In Soviet times, the building was demolished, and now in its place there is the Press House (the area
between the streets of Pushkin and Vlaicu Prclab).
