Born in Lowenstein [Germany] and educated in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, Manuel Wielandt is an enigma to most post card collectors who enjoy artist drawn views and scenes. He never intended to be a postcard artist, but for more than a decade after his formal studies, he traveled the Continent and used his time and talents to make beautiful pictures in the eternal cities where European heritage and culture made their priceless contributions to Western civilization.
Wielandt worked primarily in Southern Europe, yet partially in Switzerland and Germany. His favorite places included the French and Italian Riviera and the cities within the Italian region known as the Veneto.
