Although this card is from about 1910, the photo is probably from thirty years earlier. There is still a market here - and also a skating rink. Unfortunately, there's no Google street view to show you what it looks like now, but if you want to see what's happening at Springer Market Square right this minute, you can look at their webcam. The first time I looked, they had set up an ice skating rink and you could see people skating around, but it looks as if that has been dismantled now.
I like the quadri-clock tower. :)
ReplyDeleteOutdoor markets are great, but with all those horses one surely had to watch their step!
ReplyDeleteGreat postcard, stunning architecture and with all those horses, a fantastic scene.
