Original art - Illustrated postcard depicting a group of uniformed soldiers riding in an open horse-drawn carriage before the Pantheon in Rome, produced during the mid-20th century and consistent with the World War II era. The scene is rendered in a loose, caricature-like style, showing soldiers in caps and uniforms alongside a civilian driver gesturing toward the classical architecture. The Pantheon’s portico , Piazza del Popolo, and Egyptian Flaminio Obelisk are clearly identifiable. Printed credit on the verso attributes the original art to P. W. B., Rome, dated 28-7-1944.

The composition centers on the carriage filled with soldiers, their relaxed postures and simplified facial features conveying a casual, observational tone. The driver sits forward, arm extended as if pointing out the landmark, while the horse and carriage wheels are rendered with bold outlines and minimal shading. Behind them, the Pantheon’s columned façade and domed roof anchor the setting, with surrounding buildings loosely sketched in warm tones.

The verso is printed in standard postcard format with divided address lines and “POST-CARD” heading, along with a boxed credit reading “Authc by P. W. B. Rome 28-7-1944.” Additional printed text along the edge includes “Pantheon,” and a partial slogan reading “He who knows far more than a…,” along with a small printer’s mark “A/B” and “Carabotti - Roma.”
