Beautiful real photo postcard (RPPC) showing the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin in flight over Friedrichshafen, Germany — the birthplace of Zeppelin airship innovation. The image captures the massive rigid airship gliding gracefully above Lake Constance (Bodensee), with the lakeside town and twin-domed church of Schlosskirche Friedrichshafen visible below.The caption reads:“Friedrichshafen a. B., ‘Graf Zeppelin’ in voller Fahrt vom Flugzeug aus gesehen”(“Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, the ‘Graf Zeppelin’ in full flight as seen from an airplane”)This striking aerial photograph reflects Germany’s fascination with airship travel during the interwar period. The Graf Zeppelin (LZ 127), launched in 1928, became a symbol of national pride and technological progress, completing record-setting flights including the 1929 round-the-world voyage and extensive transatlantic service between Germany, South America, and the United States.Subject: Graf Zeppelin (LZ 127) over Friedrichshafen, GermanyType: Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Location: Friedrichshafen, Lake Constance (Bodensee)Era: Late 1920s–early 1930sPublisher: Albrecht Krüger, Stuttgart (noted in margin)Back: Divided; handwritten message in English; postally unmailedSize: Approx. 3.5 x 5.5 inchesCondition: Excellent with light age toning; sharp contrast and rich sepia tones; clean edges.A highly collectible aviation postcard celebrating the Golden Age of Zeppelin travel, offering a rare perspective of the airship from another aircraft — a feat of both early flight and photography.
