This original vintage postcard titled "Der Engel wacht" (The Angel Watches) features a beautifully detailed lithograph depicting a guardian angel watching over two children playing amidst rocks and flowers. The angel, dressed in flowing white robes with large feathery wings, gently reaches out toward the children, evoking a serene and protective atmosphere. The postcard measures approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches, a common size for early 20th-century postcards.Printed using traditional lithographic techniques, this postcard showcases rich colors and intricate shading, characteristic of German postcards from the early 1900s. The back includes handwritten German script and a green Helvetia 5-cent postage stamp, postmarked in 1916, adding both historical and collectible value. The combination of religious symbolism, vintage European art, and authentic postal markings makes this postcard a charming collectible for enthusiasts of antique postcards, angel imagery, or German ephemera.
