Postcard 1962 Chamonix Mont-Blanc Multi-View France Mailed Haute-Savoie

Chamonix, France1962RPPCGood

A dreamy constellation of alpine scenes radiates outward from the snow-crowned summit of Mont Blanc — cable cars threading icy ridges, skiers on summer snowfields, a rack railway crossing a stone viaduct, and the main street of Chamonix busy with postwar automobiles — all arranged in the classic mid-century multi-view format that made these cards irresistible souvenirs. Mailed on 16 August 1962 from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc with a special cancellation promoting the 1962 World Championships, this card traveled to a recipient named Morerjglu at Rabenstein 105 in Graz, Austria, bearing a blue-ink message written in what appears to be German cursive. The photographic quality is "Photographie Véritable" — a real photographic process — giving the images exceptional tonal depth for the era.
