Two tiny figures — a standing man and a crouching companion — pick their way across a frozen stream in the shadow of a snow-laden alpine chalet, while storm-lit peaks and dark conifers tower above in this evocative chromolithographic winter landscape postcard, rich with the romantic Continental mountain atmosphere that made such "Serie 599" art cards enormously popular in Edwardian America. Mailed on January 17, 1907 from Westfield, New York, to Miss Phyla W— in Sherburne, N.Y., with a 1¢ Benjamin Franklin green stamp, and received at Sherburne the same day — a charming small-town New York winter correspondence that perfectly mirrors the card's snowy subject. The lower-right corner bears the monogram "HB" or similar, suggesting a Continental European artist.
