One of a series of love map postcards intended to illustrate the the early German Romantic poet Heinrich Heine's 'Buch der Lieder'.

The poem illustrated here is:

"Wenn ich in deiner Augen seh' so schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh... (When I look into your eyes then vanish all my sorrow and pain...)

The two lovers look at each other across the sea; the woman's profile outlined on the 'Lied' coast; where as the man, whose profile can be seen on the 'Brust' coast is shown reciting the poem.
