Antique & Vintage Postcards

Early hand-colored photographic postcard of the ornamental lake and grotto fountain at the Palácio de Cristal gardens in Porto (Oporto), Portugal, published by Edition Photoglob Co., Zürich. A large sculptural grotto rises from the center of a reflective pond, flanked by lush gardens; a lone swan drifts in the foreground, and the distinctive iron-and-glass pavilion of the Crystal Palace is visible through the trees at upper center.
