A breathtaking bird's-eye panoramic map of the Vierwaldstättersee — the Lake of the Four Forest Cantons, better known as Lake Lucerne — unfolds across this richly colored chrome card, with every Alpine summit labeled in German: Finsteraarhorn 4275m, Jungfrau 4166m, Titlis 3239m, and the commanding Rigi Kulm 1800m rising from the lake's center. The city of Luzern anchors the lower right. Published by Photoglob-Wehrli A.G. of Zürich, Switzerland's preeminent postcard publisher of the mid-century, the card was mailed from Altdorf/Tellspiele — the very town of William Tell legend — to a Miami, Florida address. The message is written in Czech, signed by someone named Ivan: "Tati, zde by se Ti moc líbilo. Journe cestou kolem toho jezera, je to krásné a počasí nám přeje." ("Dad, you would love it here. We travelled around the lake, it is beautiful and the weather is with us.") A polyglot snapshot of Cold War–era European travel.
