Czech Republic Postcard: Leitmeritz a. Elbe Elbbrücke mit Domturm XT2143.


This historic topographical view depicts the Elbbrücke (Elbe Bridge) in Leitmeritz, which is now known as Litoměřice in the Czech Republic. The scene captures a panoramic view of the iron bridge crossing the Elbe River, with the prominent Domturm (cathedral tower) of St. Stephen's Cathedral visible in the background. The presence of extensive handwritten text in Esperanto on both the front and back of the card reflects the city's role as a center for international communication within the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the early 20th century.


This is a used standard size postcard published by Brück & Sohn and manufactured in Germany. The postcard has a crease across the top left hand corner and slight surface wear. One stamp has also been removed.


Historical Context:
The Recipient: Mr. Foulger was an active member of the early 20th-century Esperanto movement in Britain. The mention of the B.E.A. (British Esperanto Association) confirms this professional and social link.
