Ich komme!
This postcard, published by Münchener Bildkunstverlag August Lengauer in München (Munich), features an illustration of a powerful steam locomotive in motion, accompanied by the German phrase "Ich komme!" (meaning "I am coming!"). The train is depicted speeding through a rural landscape, with smoke billowing from its chimney and a bridge visible in the background. The dramatic perspective, emphasizing the locomotive's size and speed. The illustration style suggests it is from the early to mid-20th century, a period when steam locomotives were symbols of industrial progress and efficiency.
