RPPC Aschaffenburg Pompejanum Terrace Evening Germany Postcard 1960s

Aschaffenburg am Main, Bavaria, West Germany1960ChromeGood

Real photo postcard (RPPC) of the terrace of the Pompejanum in Aschaffenburg am Main, Germany, at dusk. The long stone terrace extends into the middle distance lined with tall urns on pedestals and potted agave plants, with a formal flower bed to the right. The Ionic columned portico of the Pompejanum — King Ludwig I of Bavaria's replica of a Pompeian house — rises at far right against a dramatic sky of sweeping cloud formations. The composition has a brooding, cinematic quality characteristic of mid-century German photography.
