A Collection of Vintage Topographical and Subject Postcards
Description
A collection of vintage topographical and subject postcards, primarily early to mid-20th century, housed in a light-coloured wooden storage crate. The assortment includes a diverse range of monochrome and colour lithographic and photographic views from various international locations. Visible subjects include a colour photographic postcard of a coastal scene titled Barbados in blue text, a monochrome view of a town square with the printed title JÜTERBOG, a monochrome view of a church and settlement titled JERUSALEM, and a monochrome landscape view of LÖBNITZ (Bayer. Alpen) 690 m.
The collection comprises several hundred cards, featuring both landscape and architectural subjects, with some examples displaying serrated edges and others featuring handwritten correspondence, stamps, and postmarks on the reverse. The cards are arranged in multiple loose stacks and within the wooden crate, which exhibits basic joinery. A white adhesive label is present on the side of the wooden crate, though the text upon it is not clearly legible.
