This postcard was previously posted in another area asking Jopie for help with translation. I've since been able to get some help with it for listing on ebay, but here it is, again, because it is a very nice black and white photograph on a real photo postcard. It shows the Mlınská Colonnade in Karlsbad (Now Karloby Vary), Czechoslovakia.

The German script under the caption is known as Sütterlin,



and if you want, you can even play with it, here:

Here's the card again, along with the reverse, which is a German feldpost (military) cover.






The casino in the town was used (disguised) in the most recent 007 James Bond movie, Casino Royale.
