Summary

Description

Nice to have a precisely dated photograph. And this at the time when events that were to lead to World War 2 were just kicking off ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938 ), and exactly on this day Italy was banning all Jewish teachers from schools ( www.brainyhistory.com/events/1938/august_21_1938_96692.html ).

But 'normal' life continued in Hamburg in would appear, as it did in England too - two days later England scored 903 for 7 in the cricket against Australia ( www.brainyhistory.com/days/august_23.html )!

You do have to wonder what happened to these folk in the years that followed.

This is a real photo postcard and on the reverse it states: "Hamburger Foto-Werrkstatten Greite & Lober, Hamburg, Landungsbrucken. Bei Nachbestellungen bitte die umseitige Nr. und Datum augeben"

The last bit basically means you can reorder copies by giving the number and date on the front.
