Antique & Vintage Postcards

A painter's eye sweeps across the terracotta and copper rooftops of Prague's Staré Město (Old Town), baroque bell towers and Gothic spires competing for the misty skyline in this evocative watercolor-reproduction postcard from the celebrated "Pražské akvarely Jaroslava Šetolíky" — Prague Watercolors of Jaroslav Šetolíka — Series IV, published in the early twentieth century when artistic postcard series were among the most prized collectibles of the Jugendstil age. The panoramic view captures the medieval jumble of the Old Town with a romanticism that professional photographer and amateur traveler alike found irresistible, and this example remains clean and unused, preserving its original warm palette.
