Original 1937 German real photo postcard (RPPC) featuring a beautiful panoramic view of Frankfurt am Main, showing the city's historic skyline, riverfront, bridge, and prominent church towers reflected in the River Main.

The front is captioned:

"Frankfurt a/M. - Sachsenhäuser Steg und Dom."

The reverse bears an original 6 Reichspfennig RLB Luftschutz Air Defense stamp, a Frankfurt am Main cancellation dated 8 March 1937, and handwritten correspondence.

A wonderful piece of prewar German postal history and city photography.

My Dear,

I would like to let you know that I received your letter. I am very pleased that everything is going well with you. Warm greetings and best wishes to you. Your friend, Grete.
