A postally unused briefkaart that was published by van Leer's Fotodrukind. The image is a glossy real photograph, and the card has a divided back on which is noted that the Hotel-Restaurant Fleissig is located at Warmoesstraat 123 - 129 in Amsterdam.
It was located in the old part of Amsterdam, close to the red light district. Alas, the Fleissig no more, although the building still remains - part of it is now occupied by the Winston nightclub.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is the capital and most populous municipality of the Netherlands. The city is located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country but is not its capital, which is Haarlem.
Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin around a dam on the river Amstel.
Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age (17th century), a result of its innovative developments in trade.
During that time, the city was the leading centre for finance and diamonds. In the 19th and 20th centuries the city expanded, and many new neighbourhoods and suburbs were planned and built.
The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19th–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres of Europe, Amsterdam is considered an alpha world city by the Globalisation and World Cities Study Group.
Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, and seven of the world's 500 largest companies, including Philips, AkzoNobel, TomTom and ING, are based in the city.
Also, many leading technology companies have their European headquarters in Amsterdam, such as Uber, Netflix and Tesla.
In 2012, Amsterdam was ranked the second best city to live in by the Economist Intelligence Unit, and 12th globally on quality of living for environment and infrastructure by Mercer.
The Port of Amsterdam to this day remains the second in the country, and the fifth largest seaport in Europe.
Famous Amsterdam residents include the diarist Anne Frank, artists Rembrandt van Rijn and Vincent van Gogh, and philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, the oldest stock exchange in the world, is located in the city centre.
Amsterdam's main attractions, including its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, the Anne Frank House, the Amsterdam Museum, its red-light district and its many cannabis coffee shops draw more than 5 million international visitors annually.
