Antique & Vintage Postcards

Pre-linen black-and-white postcard of the Schiffbrücke (pontoon bridge) on the Rhine at Cologne, with a view toward Deutz on the opposite bank. In the foreground, barges and river craft crowd the Cologne landing stage, an ornate iron lamp post rises at center, and figures stand on a floating dock. The long pontoon bridge stretches across the Rhine to Deutz, where the Deutz railway station and church towers are visible along the far bank. Steamers and other vessels populate the wide river.
