Antique & Vintage Postcards

Art Nouveau color lithograph postcard depicting the Mariensäule (Marian Column) on the Herrenplatz in St. Pölten, Lower Austria. The Baroque column with its crowned Virgin statue rises above the market square, surrounded by a street vendor with a colorful flower cart, a figure with a walking stick, and red-wheeled handcarts in the foreground. Period architecture fills the background. The bold, flat graphic style with geometric border decoration is characteristic of early Jugendstil postcard design.
