Hand-colored postcard of the Parktor (park gate) in Gries bei Bozen (Gries near Bolzano), South Tyrol — dominated by a massive, spectacularly blooming wisteria tree whose cascading purple-pink flower clusters fill the frame. A well-dressed gentleman stands to the right on the pavement, with the town and mountain backdrop visible behind. The scene conveys the celebrated Mediterranean character of this Alpine resort town.
