Sea surf on the German coast

An original postally used paper object from the collection, catalogued as picture postcard. Front: Colour seascape photograph of foaming waves and shoreline; the reverse bears the Krüger publisher mark. Reverse: Postally used with an 80-pfennig “Traktor” stamp; the cancel appears to be from a north-German island/coastal resort but is too indistinct for a certain reading. The catalogue dating is “c. 1980–1982”, and the country/postal area is recorded as “Federal Republic of Germany”. Condition is typical of a genuinely travelled postcard: normal handling traces, light rounding or wear at the edges, minor surface marks and handwritten/postal matter are present, while the object remains complete and its principal printed design, stamp and cancellation survive. Both sides were scanned directly. The catalogue images retain every visible edge without retouching or artificial restoration. The description deliberately separates firmly legible evidence from dates or cancellations that are only partly readable.
