Early black-and-white photographic view of San Remo on the Italian Riviera, showing the coastal promenade (La Promenade) with a railway line running along the sea wall, palm trees lining the boulevard, and the prominent Hotel Royal in the upper right. Figures promenade in the foreground. A dense German-script message covers the image side of this undivided-back card — one of the earliest postcard formats, issued before the divided back was introduced in 1904.
