One of the most photographed medieval buildings in all of Alsace gazes out from this exquisite Art Nouveau-bordered card — the Maison Kammerzelle in Strasbourg (then Strassburg i. E. under German Imperial rule), its intricately carved timber-frame façade stacked five stories high with oriel windows, sculpted reliefs, and Renaissance woodwork dating to 1589. The card's cream embossed border with sinuous organic motifs is a masterwork of Jugendstil design, perfectly framing this architectural treasure. Issued during the period when Alsace-Lorraine was part of the German Empire (1871–1918), the card's bilingual identity — "Strassburg i. E." (in Elsass/Alsace) — reflects the contested cultural geography of the region that would change nationality four times between 1870 and 1945. The reverse carries the full Universal Postal Union multilingual header in seven languages, a hallmark of pre-1905 international cards. Unused, with beautiful embossed borders intact.
