An Oldie from Germany

Today I received a great postcard from Germany, I love vintage photographs and postcards, and this one is gorgeous.

DE5096662F

After some research I discovered that the photograph is of German actress Grethe Weiser (February 27, 1903 – October 2, 1970). She started her career in the 1920s cabaret scene in Berlin, and went on to appear in around 30 movies.

Interestingly, Grethe spent her childhood in Dresden, and coincidently the stamp on this postcard displays the Dresden Elbpanorama. What a fantastic stamp! I love ones with  non-standard dimensions.
