Bathed in the warm pastel hues of an Edwardian summer afternoon, the elegant lakeside promenade of Lugano unfolds in this exquisitely hand-colored Swiss postcard — the ornate three-tiered fountain at center, chestnut-lined quay stretching toward shimmering Lake Lugano, and the commanding pyramid of Monte San Salvatore rising beyond in russet and green. Published by the prestigious Wehrli A.-G. of Kilchberg-Zürich, renowned for their exceptional photochrome quality, this card was sent on August 28, 1907 by a traveler named Max writing to his mother in Neugersdorf, Saxony — card number 11 in what appears to be a sequential travel series, reporting with evident delight on a boat journey across Lago Maggiore and Lake Lugano.
