The Postcard is Taller Than Me!

Fresh from the postman! Just arrived today, another letter from my Germany penpal, Matthias. Danke Matt!

Once, he told me about a very long postcard, maybe taller than me. I said, I am intrigued. And he sent me the tallest postcard I’ve ever had!

Star Shape

The Fürstenzug (Procession of Princes) in the Augustusstrasse on the outer wall if the Stallhof is 102 m long. The mural was done in Sgraffito from 1872 to 1876 after a design from Wilhelm Walther (1826-1913). In 1907 it was baked into 24.000 Meißen china tiles. It shows margraves, electors, dukes, and kings of the House of Wettin who dominated and left their marks in Saxon history.

The postcard still has those new-from-the-store smell! *sniffing*

Jadi, inilah miniatur dari mural 102 meter ituh. W-o-w.  Di balik kartu ini adalah semua penjelasan dari setiap orang yang terpampang di gambar. Ini. Gaul. Banget.

Kan banyak tuh gambar-gambar mural nyeleneh menyindir yang bagus di Jakarta. Lucu kali ya kalo dibikin kartu pos panjang kaya gini. Ataaaaauuuu harusnya gambar kemacetan yang mengantri melingkar-lingkar bagai ular naga kalo dibikin kartu pos yang panjang ini bisa berapa meter ya… Mungkin sampe kita bisa lihat semua jenis kendaraan yang ada di Indonesia dalam satu kartu. Hmm.. Menarik. Siapa yang berniat merealisasikannya? 😀
