Postcard c1905 Bath England General View Empire Hotel Hartmann Undivided Back

Bath, England, UK1904Pre-linenExcellent

Perched atop the Empire Hotel, this Edwardian-era view postcard of Bath, England unfolds in richly saturated lithographic color — the Georgian terraces and honeyed Bath stone buildings stretching toward the rolling Somerset hills, a Gothic church spire piercing the skyline, and a neatly kept public garden with a Victorian bandstand in the foreground. Published by Hartmann and printed in Saxony during the golden age of picture postcards (c. 1902–1906), this undivided-back card reflects the strict British postal regulations of the era: the left column carries the instruction "For INLAND Postage only this space may be used for communication," while the right side was reserved solely for the address. Never mailed, it survives in exceptional unused condition — a pristine Edwardian collector's piece from one of England's most celebrated Georgian cities.
