Description

View of the Minnewater in Bruges, a poetic basin carved into the bed of the Reyne, with a church tower and buildings in the background. Printed text at the bottom: 'The Minnewater, named so sweetly as the Lake of Love, is only a basin carved into the bed of the Reyne, which flows into the city here. It was the trading basin of ancient Bruges. It is the most poetic corner of the old city, the most suitable place for meditation.' Reverse: handwritten letter dated April 6, 1930, sent from Bruges to Paris, with a 10-centime Belgian stamp and Bruges cancellation.
