Dresden's magnificent Frauenkirche — the great sandstone Baroque church whose soaring stone bell dome dominated the Neumarkt square before its destruction in February 1945 — glows in warm sepia and blue in this finely printed heliocolour lithograph from publisher Ottmar Zieher of Munich. Horse-drawn vehicles and pedestrians animate the broad cobbled square, while period storefronts including a "Wertheim" department store sign are just legible to the left. The card captures the church at the height of its pre-war splendour, making it a poignant document of a cityscape annihilated by Allied bombing — and later meticulously reconstructed, reopening in 2005. This example is unused, with an undivided-format back (Weltpostverein / Union postale universelle), placing it firmly in the pre-1905 era, and retains vivid original color.
