Vintage Photograph of Park Hotel, Aandalsnæs, Romsdal

This item is a black and white photographic print, likely a vintage postcard or a page from a publication, depicting the 'Park Hotel' located in Aandalsnæs, Romsdal, Indehaven fr. Tonsberg. The image showcases a multi-story hotel building, characteristic of late 19th or early 20th-century European architecture, with several windows, balconies, and decorative rooflines. Two flags, one of which appears to be the Norwegian flag, are visible flying from flagpoles. The hotel name, 'Hotel Park', is faintly legible on the building itself. The overall print quality suggests a halftone process, common for newspaper or early magazine illustrations. The visible texture and tonal range are typical of period photographic reproduction. The image is rectangular but its precise dimensions are obscured by the hand holding it and the plastic sleeve. The print exhibits signs of age, including potential discoloration, although this is hard to ascertain definitively due to the monochromatic nature of the image and reflections from a protective sleeve. There are no major tears or creases immediately apparent from the visible portion, but the surface shows general wear consistent with its age and handling. The image is housed within a clear plastic protective sleeve, which is causing reflections and preventing a full assessment of its physical condition, including potential surface abrasions or foxing. The visible text 'Park Hotel, Aandalsnæs, Romsdal Indehaven fr. Tonsberg' provides crucial identifying details, indicating its specific location and likely function as an advertisement or travel memento. The style of the building and the print method suggest an estimated age from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
