A rotund Bavarian in leather Lederhosen sits grinning on a bench, turning back with a wink toward the viewer — the cheeky Bavarian dialect caption reads "Don't be shy — just trust yourself, you can peek under the patch!" and when you do, a concertina strip of ten miniature black-and-white views of Munich unfolds, revealing the Isarpartie, Odeonsplatz with Theatinerkirche, the Bavaria statue, Deutsches Museum, Maximilianeum, Glockenspiel, Karlsplatz, and the twin-towered Frauenkirche. This delightful novelty was posted on July 23, 1953 from the Deutsche Verkehrs-Ausstellung (German Transport Exhibition) in Munich — a major postwar showcase — bearing the event's special pictorial cancel featuring a cyclist. Signed by Mom and multiple family members including Berta and Sophie, it crossed the Atlantic to John and Georg at 210 Jeremiah Ave., Trenton, New Jersey, where an exhausted Sophie confessed, "I'm so tired today."
