About La Catrina in Kesslergasse Postcard

As usual, La Catrina cannot help herself to step into the spotlight. Here, she is wearing her newest hat - Münster inspired!

This is another view of the Münster from the “Kesslergasse” which, in 1967 was renamed “Münstergasse”. From here you can see the tower really well. As you climb the tower, the sculptures of the eight master builders involved in the construction of the tower look out at you from the first gallery. After you have climbed the 344 steps, the view from above is so amazing! You can see 360° of Berne. It is worth the climb, though Swiss Skeli must admit, the last time he did it was centuries ago!

Material

The two skull holders are hand sculpted. Made from porcelain clay, they are approximately 4.5 cm in depth, 2.5 cm wide and 2 cm high.

The postcard is from around 1900. All cards mounted on white 250 g/m² paper with trimmed edges. Vintage postcard, overpainted with acrylic paint, 13.8 x 10.3 cm, no frame. Signed and dated in pencil on back. This can be easily erased in the event you want to use the card.

The cards are packaged in cellophane with an informative text about the history of the image on each card and when it was first published.

Please note that since these are antique postcards, some might contain small tears, pinholes and/or scratches. Fleshy tries her best to lovingly craft each card, but sometimes a tear might be too close to the overall subject to cut it out. The actual colors might differ slightly from your monitor.

Every postcard is a small, unique work of art!

Delivery throughout Europe and overseas is with normal postal mail in cardboard envelopes so nothing should bend. Postage and packaging are calculated at checkout.
