Pre-linen color postcard of the Königsplatz and Rossplatz in Leipzig during the Messe (trade fair), May 1903. The elevated view captures a lively fairground scene with two large ornate carousels in the foreground, crowds of visitors, colorful market stalls and tents filling the square, a tram visible at left, and the imposing dome of the Reichsgericht (Supreme Court) and the city skyline stretching behind. The date "15. Main 1903" is inscribed on the image side in ink.
