A old, printed, colour postcard, looking across a river near a bridge crossing. Direclty opposite is a church (St Nicholas) with a tall, steeple. Otehr church towers are visbile behind other buildings. A large boat or small ship is moored in front of the street running alongside the river (the mast is too high to be going under the brdige). In the other direction, a row of two narrow brown buildings face the river. THe have words (names?) acorss the front between rows of windows Warehouses? The street leading away from the bridge has awnings above the ground floor windows. Proably shops. There's a lot of traffic crossing the bridge and in the cross streets: pedestrians, horse-drawn carts and maybe omnibuses?

Same view but from a lower level. Same church directly opposite. Most of the other buildings are hidden by trees, although a church tower and steeple are visible. A lot of traffic still, but mostly vans, buses and people on foot. Not that different actually. They're just bigger.
