Buyer's premium:

A substantial collection of paper postcards featuring diverse imagery. The collection includes reproductions of classical artworks such as Renaissance and Baroque paintings depicting religious figures, portraits, and nudes, alongside botanical illustrations. A significant portion consists of photographic scenes, including European or Mediterranean landscapes, cityscapes, and architectural views of grand interiors and exteriors. One postcard is distinctly dated “20 September 1967” and marked “TAG DER TOURISTEN” (German for “Day of the Tourists”) and “DAY OF THE TOURISTS”, suggesting a mid-20th-century period for at least part of the collection. Another card bears the partial text “FRATT”.
