Eight crisp black-and-white vignettes map the civic pride of Haynau in Silesia — from the broad colonnaded Ring marketplace and the soaring Gothic Domkirche tower to the solid Wilhelmplatz, the medieval Weberturm (Weavers' Tower), the railway Bahnhof, Schlossplatz, Steingarten, and a neat modern Berufsschule (vocational school) — composing a portrait of a prosperous German provincial town in the years between the wars, in a region whose fate would soon be violently redrawn. Haynau (today Chojnów, Poland) passed to Polish administration after WWII and its German population was expelled; this card is therefore both a travel souvenir and an inadvertent historical document of a lost world. Published by Verlag A. Bröse of Breslau (today Wrocław), the card is unused and clean, its reverse blank save for the publisher's imprint.
