postcards and photos from the early-mid 1900s

Marktbreit a. Main

Sorry I forgot I enclosed the maps yesterday in my airmail letter, as you can see Marktbreit is a tiny little town of the middle ages [12th Century] and the houses are all like the ones in this picture all buldgy walls and overhanging windows and timbering. This dirty little stream runs down to the Mainz river and that’s a bridge above with the street running inside. All the streets twist into one another and are only cobbled and are mostly in a filthy state but everyone seems to accept the smells as being just a picturesque characteristic of the town and noone worries.
Much Love Helen.
