A moody twilight silhouette of the Karlsbader Hütte at 2,252 metres, perched above the Lienz Dolomites in East Tyrol — the wooden balcony juts dramatically into a bruised, cloud-streaked sky as mountain ridges recede in blue-grey layers below. Published by Aug. Gander of Lienz, this evocative halftone card captures the romanticism of interwar Alpine mountaineering culture. On the reverse, a violet-ink message fills every margin, sent from the hut itself with the hut's own rectangular cachet stamp ("Karlsbader Hütte / in den Lienz. Dolomiten / der Sekt. Karlsbad D.u.Ö.A.-V. / 2252 ü.d.M."), addressed to Familie Martinek in Vienna X, Leibnizgasse 15. The sender, writing with evident enthusiasm, appears to describe the sunset view visible from the very balcony shown on the front.
