Sepia halftone postcard showing the vestibule (Vestibule) of Herrenchiemsee Palace on the Herreninsel island in Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria -- King Ludwig II of Bavaria's grandiose recreation of Versailles. The columned entrance hall is shown with its dramatic central axis view through arched openings; at the focal point stands a large bronze peacock sculpture mounted on an elaborate urn, a typically opulent Ludwigian decorative element. Black-and-white diamond-patterned marble floors and classical columns frame the composition.
