Antique & Vintage Postcards

Hand-colored photomechanical postcard of the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) of Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany — the famous medieval building constructed on an artificial island in the Regnitz River, connected to both banks by stone bridges. The multi-story half-timbered and plastered building with its Baroque onion-dome clocktower rises directly from the bridge arches spanning the river, with additional historic buildings visible on the right bank. The image is rendered in warm pastels — terracotta roofs, cream walls, blue water — characteristic of the Dr. Trenkler Co. hand-colored process.
