Description from source
-
1 postcard ; 9 x 14 cm
Black and white postcard written by German prisoner of war W. Zinnius on June 8, 1915 from the Rottnest Island internment camp. The name of both the sender and recipient are difficult to decipher. The postcard features a landscape with the caption "Kupfer-Tiefdruck von Carl Schünemann, Bremen, Nr. 48: 'Bei den Badener Bergen' von Frau A. Röben, Bremen". At the time of writing, Zinnius had been on Rottnest Island for nine months and describes it as a "hard trial of patience".
