This image depicts a picturesque scene of the Konstanz Hotel on an island, located in Constance (now known as Konstanz), Baden, Germany. The architecture showcases traditional European design with its ornate facades and multiple levels featuring balconies and windows. A serene body of water reflects the building's facade and surrounding trees, enhancing the tranquility of the setting. In the background, a smoking chimney suggests industrial activity or heating from an older time period.

The photo appears to be vintage, indicated by its coloration typical of early photographic processes like albumen silver prints with hand-tinted colors. The inclusion of "Hotel" on the building's facade makes it clear that this structure serves as lodging for visitors. Additionally, the date stamp at the bottom reads 1547 P.Z., which could be referencing a specific catalog or archive number.

This postcard-like image captures not only an architectural and natural beauty but also provides insight into tourism practices of its time by highlighting local attractions such as this hotel island in Lake Constance.
