Description:Humorous postcard issued in a series called 'If Birmingham were Venice', featuring Birmingham buildings, in this case the Council House, in a canalside setting complete with gondolas and Venetian-style bridges. The Council House was designed by H.R. Yeoville Thomason in a Renaissance style which makes the Venetian setting quite appropriate.
