Chrysler Building, New York City
A modernistic Georgia Marble and Indiana Limestone building which rises 1046 feet from the ground to the top of the steel mast. A truly great achievement of modern architecture.
The post card was published by Alfred Mainzer, a Jewish-German immigrant who established his namesake company in 1938. Mainzer was best known for their post cards of anthropomorphic cats painted by Eugen Hartung, a Swiss artist. You can find several examples of Hartung's work here.
Mainzer later became known for their Catholic and Christian greeting cards. The company was acquired by Christian Brands in 2022.
