The lake-town of Plön in Holstein floats serenely across this monochrome panoramic view — church spires pricking the treeline, the famous Plöner Schloss (palace) crowning its wooded hill above the town's rooftops, and rolling Schleswig-Holstein countryside stretching to a sky of dramatic cumulus clouds in a scene of almost pastoral perfection. Plön was a favored destination in the early twentieth century, its Schloss serving as a Prussian royal retreat, and this Julius Simonsen Kunstverlag card from Oldenburg captures the town's gentle beauty with a fine-grained photomechanical print. Sent to Frau Emma A. at Berlin O 112, Holzstr. 31a — an eastern Berlin address — the card carries a full Weimar Republic 10 Pfennig stamp and an early 1920s postmark, making it a small document of Weimar-era domestic correspondence between the provinces and the capital.
