Written in Paris on 14 April 1906 and mailed all the way to Montevideo, Uruguay, this gorgeous Tuck-style chromolithograph of Nuremberg's Maxbrücke (Max Bridge) is a small miracle of early international postal routing — its cancels tracing a journey from Paris across the Atlantic to South America, addressed to a señorita named Elvira at Sarandi 383, Montevideo, República Oriental del Uruguay. The richly colored image, rendered in the manner of Charles Flower's celebrated Tuck Oilette series and published by S. Soldan'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung of Nuremberg, shows the iconic Henkersteg (Hangman's Bridge) timber-framed building straddling the Pegnitz river, its reflection shimmering below, with the massive Weißer Turm (White Tower) rising to the right and the castle silhouetted on the hill above. A Spanish-language note on the front declares this "the most beautiful town I have seen since traveling through Germany" — signed by "el Señor Aruell." The back shows multiple overlapping French and Uruguayan postal cancels, the stamp having been removed but the rich philatelic routing survives.
