Postcard 1930s RPPC Mikulov Czech Republic Panoramic Town View Fototypia Vyskov

Mikulov, Czech Republic (Moravia)1935RPPCExcellent

From a hilltop vantage point, this crisp real-photo postcard sweeps across the rooftops of Mikulov — a Moravian gem near the Austrian border — revealing the grand Liechtenstein/Dietrichstein château dominating the ridge at upper left, the baroque tower of St. Wenceslas Church piercing the skyline at center, and the vine-covered slopes that have made this wine country famous for centuries. Mikulov's layered history — Habsburg aristocracy, a storied Jewish community, Nazi occupation, postwar expulsion of its German-speaking population — is invisible in this serene interwar panorama, making it all the more poignant as a document of a world on the cusp of transformation. Published by Ludvík Marčínek's bookshop and printed by Fototypia Výškov, this is an unposted collector's copy numbered "Nr 5" in pencil.
