have always been a popular subject for postcards. So it's not

bordercrossings. On this page a few examples. Not to be exhaustive,
just for fun.

These peculiar posts with the arms of France and Spain aere at the bridge between Henday and IrĂ¹n
They
are mentioned in the Bayonne treaty of 1856 and as such could be
considered as the first bordermarkers of the esfr-delimitation.
