Antique & Vintage Postcards

Composite postcard combining a hand-colored lithograph portrait of two women in traditional Vogtland folk costume (left panel) with a monochrome photographic panorama of Auerbach im Vogtland, Saxony (right panel). The women wear elaborate dark bodices with richly colored aprons and large ribbon bows in their hair, one carrying a yellow wicker basket and a tin milk pail. The town view shows the medieval church tower and dense rooftops of this Erzgebirge foothills town. Publisher: Kunstanstalt Löffler & Co., Greiz. Geschmacksmusterschutz 1905.
