Antique & Vintage Postcards

Soft and slightly dreamy in the sepia tones of a genuine silver-bromide real-photo postcard, this view catches Nürnberg's great Imperial Castle from the west — the Burgwestseite — framed by blossoming shrubs and leafy poplars in what appears to be late spring, the massive round towers and spired keep rising above a stone retaining wall and shallow moat-ditch, the whole composition conveying the romantic medieval revival atmosphere that made Nürnberg a pilgrimage destination for German nationalists and tourists alike in the Weimar and early Nazi periods. Published by Trinks & Co. of Leipzig on their premium "Echt Bromsilber" (genuine silver-bromide) stock, this is a crisp, unused example of a professional RPPC-style card from a quality publisher.
