Sepia postcard of the St. Jakobus-Kirche (St. James Church) in Görlitz, Germany — a sweeping townscape view showing the Neo-Gothic church tower rising over Wilhelmine-era commercial buildings, with tram lines and horse-drawn vehicles in the foreground and a railway goods yard at lower left. Görlitz, on the Neisse River at Germany's easternmost border, was one of the most architecturally intact cities in Germany — it had survived both world wars without significant bomb damage, a fact that has made it a favorite of filmmakers ever since. This card traveled from Görlitz to Balboa, in the Canal Zone of Panama — sent as "Drucksache" (printed matter), it is addressed from a sender at Kamenzerstr. 3 to a recipient named Ernest Reed, Box 358, Balboa, Canal Zone — a remarkable postal journey in 1926 from Silesia to the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal.
