Strassburg, Astronomische Uhr - L'horloge astronomique.

(Strasbourg: c. 1900). Chromolithographed postcard with an internal wheel that recreates the operation of the famous astronomical clock in the Cathédrale Notre-Dame in Strasbourg, France. As one turns the wheel, the automata and rotating panels at three different levels of the clock change. The title is in both German and French, reflecting the disputed nature of the Alsace region.

Some rubbing and light soiling, central pin of the wheel starting to poke through at back, else very good. Item #31654

Price: $150.00
