Sunbathers cluster under striped and solid parasols along the gravelly shore at Gmunden's celebrated Strandbad, while sailboats dot the glittering Traunsee and the sheer 1,691-metre limestone cliff of the Traunstein mountain commands the entire background with theatrical Alpine grandeur — a quintessential interwar Austrian lake-resort scene frozen in silver gelatin. A small steam or electric train is visible at the bathhouse pier on the right, and the beach crowd's silhouettes give the image a timeless, almost painterly quality. On the reverse, a heartfelt message in German cursive is addressed to Peter at an apartment on Belvedereasse in Vienna's fourth district; the writer describes sitting in a small garden, thinking of Peter at midday, and mentions the whole house has been swept by a storm — a vivid, intimate slice of Austrian summer correspondence. Published by the Tiroler Kunstverlag Chizzali of Innsbruck and printed on genuine photographic paper (marked "Echte Fotografiekarte"), this undivided-address-era RPPC dates stylistically and by stamp remnant to the late 1930s or early 1940s.
