Sunlight pours across the cobblestones of Munich's Lenbachplatz as horse-drawn carriages and elegantly dressed Wilhelmine-era pedestrians promenade before the grand Künstlerhaus and the soaring domes of the neighboring Synagogue — an architectural pairing that would be erased from the cityscape within a generation. Published in Raphael Tuck's celebrated "Oilette" series and painted by the accomplished British topographical artist Charles E. Flower, this richly chromolithographed card presents pre-WWI Munich at its most cosmopolitan and optimistic. The Munich Synagogue depicted — the Hauptsynagoge on Maxburggasse — was destroyed by the Nazis in June 1938, making this postcard a poignant historical document as well as a collector's gem. Tuck Oilette cards with Charles Flower artwork and Jewish heritage subjects represent a particularly compelling convergence of philatelic, artistic, and Holocaust remembrance collecting fields.
