This picture postcard was sent to Brussels in 1907 by a guest of the ‘Hotel Prinz-Wilhelm’. At the bottom of the postcard is the inscription ‘Verlag von M. Rothschild in Vöhl’. Moritz Rothschild was already dead in 1907, the Prinz Wilhelm was run by his son Alfred Rothschild. Perhaps the hotel was still operating under his father's name; it is also possible that the picture postcard was commissioned by his father Moritz. Moritz or Alfred must have selected the motifs and commissioned the print.
A view of the village can be seen, then the ‘Hotel Prinz-Wilhelm - Pension für Sommerfrischler - Telephon im Hause’, as well as ‘Frankfurter Straße’, in which the Gasthof zum Edersee can be seen on the left, the adjoining house, which has now been partially demolished, and then the house owned by Emanuel Katzensein at the time. The ‘Alte Post’ can be seen on the right.
