A vivid chromolithograph greetings card from Nitra (then called Nyitra under Hungarian rule) captures the proud skyline of a city that has anchored Central European culture for over a millennium — the castle church crowning its hill, the twin-towered Gymnasium church gleaming below, the Millennial Monument obelisk standing sentinel, and soldiers' barracks lending a martial note to the scene. Mailed in September 1901 by a sender named Antal to a recipient in Vienna, this little card crossed from the Kingdom of Hungary into the Habsburg capital with a crisp Nitra postmark and a Hungarian Royal Post stamp still showing fine color. The lithographer O. Schleich, Nachfolger of Dresden produced some of the finest chromolith views of the era, and this No. 1837 example is a textbook specimen — rich tones, decorative floral borders, and six distinct vignettes telling the story of a city few Western collectors have explored.
