Vintage Gruss aus Bremerhaven (Geestebrücke) litho Poster

From a beautiful c. 1895-1905 lithograph postcard, restored and retouched. Gruss aus (greetings from) postcards were the most popular (German language) postcards at the turn of the century (late 19th, beginning 20th century). They were mostly lithographs, although an occasional photo based Gruss aus postcard can be found from the era 1898-1908. Bremerhaven , literally 'Bremen's harbour') is a city at the seaport of the free city-state of Bremen, a state of the Federal Republic of Germany. It forms an enclave in the state of Lower Saxony and is located at the mouth of the River Weser on its eastern bank, opposite the town of Nordenham. Though a relatively new city, it has a long history as a trade port and today is one of the most important German ports, playing a crucial role in Germany's trade.
