This vintage lithographic postcard features a Jewish Temple, located in San Antonio, Texas. Note the two horse and carriages at the curb in front of the temple. The temple appearing on this postcard is “Temple Beth El”. The congregation was founded in 1874 and its first temple was opened in 1875. Many of the temple’s members were German immigrants who came to Texas in the 1850’s and 1860’s. In 1903, the congregation opened another temple to replace the first which was outgrown. The second temple, built on the site of the first, is pictured on this postcard. The second temple was replaced in 1927. This postcard is from the 1900’s or 1910’s. It was published by Paul Ebers, located in San Antonio. Despite corner wear, this postcard is in overall good condition (see scans).

GORGEOUS WEDDING PORTRAIT OF JEWISH COUPLE IN BUCHAREST, ROMANIA (JUDAICA)

Finding vintage real photo postcards that feature wedding couples is not all that challenging. However, this particular photo postcard is exceptionally special. First of all, the wedding portrait is gorgeous. The bride looks absolutely beautiful in her wedding gown and veil. The bride holds a giant bouquet of flowers. She shows great poise. The handsome groom is dressed to the nines in his tuxedo and top hat. The second factor that distinguishes this photograph is that there is some known history attached to it. The postcard is from an album belonging to a Jewish family in Romania. The front of the postcard is embossed with the name and location of the studio that took this photo. The studio was located in Bucharest, Romania. The name of the photographer is difficult to decipher. I believe that this postcard is from the 1920’s.    SOLD
