More German Street Scenes
The above picture was the ship on which Clara Kuck sailed home at the end of her stay in Europe. She spent several days looking for her trunk which had been sent from Berlin to the port of Hamburg before she finally found it and could arrange for it to join her on the President Lincoln. She also had troubles cashing a check and had to make a trip to the dentist.

ReplyDeleteIt definitely keeps me coming back to it.
DeleteEd, the historian in me loves these. Thank you for your diligence in preserving such things and sharing them with us.

ReplyDeleteMaybe because I don’t look at them, but I can’t recall random street scenes featured on modern postcards. Mostly they always are of some scenery or landmark.
DeleteNice postcards!
ReplyDeleteThey caught my attention amount hundreds of others.
