FRANKFURT, GERMANY – Wall Ornament

frankfurt - wall ornament (1)PLACE REPRESENTED: Frankfurt , Germany

ITEM: Wall Ornament

NOTES: A magnificently detailed look at Frankfurt, a Frankfurt that doesn’t exist anymore. The skyline is modern now. Here, the late 1950s or early 1960s, Frankfurt was still being rebuilt after heavy bombing during World War 2. The bridge (not sure which one) still has a steel span between the block foundations. Wonderfully evocative of a time gone by … and the Frankfurt Elvis would have seen when he was in the US Army stationed near by.

MADE IN:   Germany probably
