Postcard 1914 Nürnberg Germanisches Museum Hohenzollernburg Bayern Stamp Used

Nuremberg, Germany1914Pre-linenGood

Mailed from Fürth in Bavaria in 1914 and addressed to Fräulein Helene in Weisenheim near Ludwigshafen, this richly colored early photochrome panorama sweeps across Nuremberg's rooftops to settle on the imposing cream-and-red Germanisches Nationalmuseum in the foreground, with the Hohenzollernburg (Nuremberg Castle) commanding the distant skyline — church steeples needling the hazy air between them. A Bavarian green 5-Pfennig stamp franks the reverse alongside a Fürth i. Bay. cancel, while a warmly personal message in old German cursive fills the left margin. The card's halftone color printing captures the city's medieval silhouette with a clarity that postcards of this transitional era rarely achieved.
