Dimensions: 9 x 14 cm. (3.5 x 5.5″)
Publisher/Editor: Bianchi, Schwetzingen
Condition: Postally unused. Very good condition.
Notes: The Schwetzingen mosque is Germany’s last representative of the paradigmatic “garden mosques” that were popular in late 18th-century Europe and emblazoned the palace gardens of absolutist rulers. By erecting a mosque (along with other “exotic” buildings), kings and dukes wanted to show their enlightenment, tolerance, and cosmopolitanism. (atlasobscura.com)
