Postcard: Acre, arrival of the year 5786
[Posted: 2026-04-25 13-32 UTC±0] 

Vertical painting in watercolour and ink lines, a dark evening scene of a sunset over the sea, painted on yellowed postcard paper. The bottom third of the painting is a sandy beach, the top one fifth is the sky, the rest is the sea. The sky has the sun to the right, with colours blending from yellow to blue with oranges and reds. The sea has a deep, more blueish part in the distance, with two freight ships to the left. Then there are rocks, and lighter colours, reflecting the sky. On the sand there's an orange cat, their back, to the left. On the right is the artist's stamp. Below the painted sand there's "Acre, Lane in the old city" printed in Hebrew and English. The painting is signed "Last sunset of 5785, Acre, 5786 Michael Vokabre".

Composite scan of the whole back of the postcard, on the left is the painting described before, on the right, above the address area, superimposed is the front of the postcard, turned 90 degrees to the left. The front of the postcard is a photo of a street scene, with a mosque in the distance, a group of people in the middle, walking between stone buildings. Above is the 7.60 stamp from the series "Mail in Eretz Israel", in the middle is a photo of a truck "Haim H Nathaniel Overland Mail Service" superimposed on an envelope "First Overland Baghdad-Haifa".
