Ruddy-cheeked and impishly grinning, a young boy in full Bavarian or Alpine folk costume — broad-brimmed black felt hat, colorful floral neckerchief, leather belt, and green woolen breeches — beams out from this richly painted "Münchener Kunst" (Munich Art) series card, a reproduction of a work attributed on the back to Emil von Müller under the title Imanderin (or similar Bavarian dialect word, possibly "Händlerin" — a young seller or wanderer). The warm impasto brushwork and the boy's knowing smile evoke the sentimental genre painting that was enormously popular in Central Europe at the fin de siècle and through the First World War. Postmarked in what appears to be 1917 with an Austro-Hungarian 10-Heller stamp, the card was sent to "Hochwohlgeboren Fräulein Henriette Daimer" — a young woman of some social standing — at Wien XIX, Cottagegasse No. 58, the elegant Cottage-Viertel district of Vienna. A rubber stamp impression (possibly a censor or military mark) cuts diagonally across the message, a vivid reminder of wartime postal controls.
