Early hand-colored photographic postcard of Lugano, in the Swiss canton of Ticino, looking along the waterfront promenade toward Monte San Salvatore. A decorative fountain and basin occupy the foreground plaza; the broad lakeside avenue is lined with palm trees, Belle Époque hotels including Hotel Walter, and garden terraces; a lake steamer crosses the blue water of Lago di Lugano, and the distinctive peak of Monte San Salvatore rises beyond.
