M. HARRICH (DATES UNKNOWN) DAS KUR-CAFE / "KGL. VILLA." Circa 1930. 33 1/2x25 1/4 inches, 85x64 cm. Bickel Sohne Kunstanstalt, Munich. Condition B+: repaired tear through upper margin, affecting image; creases in margins and image; horizontal folds. Situated in the majestic Bavarian Alps, near the Austrian border, Berchtesgaden's reputation took a drastic turn for the worse in the 1920s, when the mountainous area became a popular Nazi high command retreat. Prior to that the region was an upscale holiday destination and resort, as evidenced by this Art Deco image of a couple at the "Königliche Villa" (Royal Villa,) an elegant and popular spa.
