“Willst Du, daß die schönste Wirtin Dir kredenzt den besten Wein…”
(“Do you want the most beautiful hostess to serve you the finest wine…”)
She looks over her shoulder, pearl-lined, half in shadow.
An advertisement, but also a portrait of poise.
A woman painted to lure you into a golden tavern,
and somehow… it worked.
This postcard was mailed from Bavaria to Paris in 1911,
addressed to Monsieur Jarvis of L’Humanité, a socialist newspaper.
On the back, a handwritten Easter message:
“Merci, un souvenir de l’Allemagne et bon dimanche de Pâques à vous et pour vous. Tous mes souhaits. – Hans Fuchs”
“Thank you, a souvenir from Germany and a happy Easter Sunday to you and for you. All my best wishes.”
Some cards whisper, others announce their presence.
This one does both.
A striking blend of art, advertising, and affection
preserved in full color with delicate aging on the paper.
Only one like it in the world.
