89 postcards presenting synagogues from cities throughout the world; most from Europe, and many of these from Hungary. [Late 19th century, early decades of the 20th century].

Splendid collection of postcards presenting synagogues from various cities around the world. Some postcards are of the “Gruss aus” (“greetings from…”) type, wherein an illustration or photograph of a synagogue is shown alongside other buildings. A large number of the postcards document synagogues in Hungary and Transylvania; others bear depictions from Montreal, Brooklyn, Buffalo NY, Munich, Leningrad, Belgrade; the French towns and communities of Remiremont, Épinal, Chablis, and Belfort; Strasbourg (several different postcards), Olomouc (Czech Republic), Dortmund, Chernowitz (Chernivtsi), Florence, Warsaw, Prague, and other cities. 44 of the postcards have undivided backs.

Average size: 9X14 cm. Varying condition. A number of postcards appear in duplicate copies. Possibly, some of the postcards feature buildings other than synagogues, related in one way or another to Jewish communities.
