Mist-soft and dreamlike, the village of St. Wolfgang am Wolfgangsee mirrors itself in the glassy lake surface in this elegant black-and-white real-photo style postcard from June 1926 — the distinctive onion-spired pilgrimage church rising above a cluster of lakeside hotels and houses, forested mountain slopes cradling the scene. The Salzkammergut lake district was already a beloved retreat for the European middle class, immortalized by operettas and artist colonies. This particular card carries a rare double message: a note crowded onto the image side dated "15.6.26" mentions going to the post office, and the beautifully written back is addressed to "Fräulein Maria" in Trier, Germany — from a sender who writes of an "unexpected experience" forcing an abrupt departure, marveling at the wonderful landscape ("wunderbare Gegend") and complete rest, with warm greetings from the Salzkammergut's "sea and mountains and lakes."
