Canal archive Posted April 27, 2021 #3976 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Anhalter1960 that’s what I thought but cannot discover a particular city. It’s also the year 1797 that the Polish national anthem was written. It’s got to something to do with the Napoleonic wars but what? Note to self, as usual ‘more research needed’.

Rare notamermaid Posted April 27, 2021 Author #3977 Share Posted April 27, 2021 As it is the Baltic that would mean a connection to a river East of the Elbe, the Oder seems even a bit too near still. Pomerania? Königsberg? The Newa? Alas, no time to do research. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare notamermaid Posted April 27, 2021 Author #3980 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Aaah! From Warnemünde - that is quite a distance. Would never have thought of that. Still do not know what the monument depicts. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a mural donated by Wilhelm Krause in 1814. Here is an other uncropped version, (the lady in the picture is my DW 🥰). We went inside to hear the "Bach Choir", which we thought was performing as per poster, but our German is not what it used to be we realized it was that, a poster. Enjoyed the exhibition inside very much though. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted April 27, 2021 #3985 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Great stumper. We've been in that church and we were totally distracted by the ceiling. I have no pictures of that mural.at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare notamermaid Posted April 27, 2021 Author #3989 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I certainly like the 3D effect, it is well done, but where is it? Portugal? notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmar Posted April 28, 2021 #3990 Share Posted April 28, 2021 A parquet floor somewhere in a Chateaux in France. Could be Versailles. Otherwise, no clue. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmar Posted April 28, 2021 #3991 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Just noticed my DW jewelry box has some wood inlay. As you mentioned that the picture is heavily cropped maybe this is a famous jewelry box. Still no idea where it might be though. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal archive Posted April 28, 2021 #3993 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Notamermaid has the right country. It does look like a piece of Treen but yes it’s a floor so scaled up just a bit. CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted April 28, 2021 Author #3994 Share Posted April 28, 2021 That really was a shot in the dark based on the outer design (border?) of the floor. No idea why I thought that this looks Portuguese. And no clue where it may be. Probably something with the word palácio in it... notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs4fun Posted April 28, 2021 #3995 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) The pictured floor submitted by CA can be found in a palace in Porto. I won't say the name of the palace (or the river) but it should be easy to find with a simple Google search. 😉 Edited April 28, 2021 by dogs4fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare notamermaid Posted April 28, 2021 Author #3998 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Nobody else around? Okay, @Canal archive I'll guess: Palácio da Bolsa, Porto, Douro river. notamermaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, @Canal archive I'll guess: Palácio da Bolsa, Porto, Douro river. notamermaid That was my guess. We snuck in just before closing time to take a quick look, and only had a few minutes. The floors were mostly covered up as there was some kind of big trade show. What we saw was pretty. But we concentrated on the beautiful ceilings.
