A 1906 card sent from Regensburg to Santa Monica (California) is perhaps the one postcard in my collection that holds the most incredible wealth of pictorial information. It's the first card on the Regensburg: Stadttheater page.





At first glance the card may seem quite unsuspicious, but since it is mounted on light wood that is almost 5 mm thick , it surely stands out from any stack of postcards. With one Bavarian and no less than six American red stamps the address side it is also quite impressive.

In the middle of the picture side, there is a little leporello that can be taken out. Folded out, it is 176 cm long and contains photographed portraits of 44 members of the ensemble of Theater Regensburg.

This image shows them arranged in groups of six:



For the single portraits, see a new Wikimedia Commons category.

Scanning the card and its leporello also helped to illustrate some Wikidata items and three German Wikipeda articles:

Most names of the portraited ladies and gentlemen can be found in the "Neuer Theater-Almanach" of 1906 that is available at the Internet Archive:

While all ensemble members of 1906 have passed away long ago, the theatre itself is still alive and kicking:
