- Offered for sale from a rescent estate sale is an early quite scarcestereoview Published by H. Schrag\'schen located near the St. Lorenz Church ( Frauenkirche) Nuremberg, Germany. An unusual aspect of the stereoview is the initials of H. A. S dated Jan. 1874 or Harriet Ann Southworth with date of 1874. At a recent estate sale I acquired a number of early stereoviews with either the signature and or Initials of H. A. S. and or A. H. S. Information below on Southworth\'s and Luchon, France. The stereoview is titled as follows in old handwritting, however with an incorrect interpretation of the name of the church OF ST. SEBALDUS (should be CHURCH OF OUR LADY - \"FRAUENKIRCHE\") OF THE THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH CENTURIES. PROTESTANT SINCE THE REFORMATION. A LIGHT HAS BEEN LEFT BURNING IN ITS (TOWER- MISSING) --I am not sure if the notation for the lighted tower of steeple relates to this church or others FOR 500 YEARS -- Note a beautiful scene destroyed during WWII and rebuilt at at later additional information on the Southworth\'s and the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Southworth brothers were engaged in paper manufacturing in western Massachusetts and Connecticut from the early years of the century and particularly after 1850. Wells Southworth built a mill in Mittineague West Springfield in 1839 and they made fine writing paper by hand. In 1866 Edward Southworth married Harriet Ann Deane and had one child. Harriet Ann Southworths abbreviations are H.A.S.
His mill became the property of the Southworth Manufacturing Company of which for more than fifty years he was president and which later became the Southworth Company in the control of his son Horatio W Southworth. A younger brother Edward Southworth ( from my research I believe that Edward was the father of Alice H. Southworth and or abbreviations of A. H. S.) was connected with the paper manufacturing in Mittineague in 1839. The two brothers also organized the Hampshire Paper Company of South Hadley Falls. The Southworths were considered an upper class family and traveled the world including England, France, Germany etc as note with either the name or initials on the back of the stereoviews as offered for sale. The initials vary from H.A. S to A. H. S. This information came from theSouthworth-Dickinson Family of Our Lady\") is a church inNuremberg,Germany. It stands on the Eastern side of the main market. An example ofbrick Gothicarchitecture, it was built on the initiative ofCharles IV, Holy Roman Emperorbetween 1352 and 1362. The church contains many sculptures, some of them heavily restored. Numerous works of art from theMiddle Agesare kept in the church, such as the so-called Tucher Altar (c. 1440, originally the high altar of theAugustinianchurch ofSt. Vitus), and two monuments byAdam Kraft(c. 1498).
The church was built in the grand market, in place of the formerJewishsynagogue, which was destroyed during thepogromof 1349 (which followed an outbreak ofBlack Death). The architect was probablyPeter Parler. Charles IV wanted to use the Frauenkirche for imperial ceremonies, which is reflected in the porch with the balcony, and in the fact that the church is relatively unadorned except for thecoats of armsof theHoly Roman Empire, the sevenElectors, the town of Nuremberg, and the city ofRome, where theHoly Roman Emperorswerecrowned.
Charles IV\'s sonWenceslaswasbaptizedin the church in 1361, on which occasion theImperial Regalia, including the imperia lreliquaries, were displayed to the people. Beginning in 1423, the Imperial Regalia was kept permanently in Nuremberg and displayed to the people once a year on a special wooden platform constructed for that purpose
