Antique & Vintage Postcards

Color lithograph postcard of Les Avants, a mountain village above Montreux in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, with the rocky peak of the Dent de Jaman (1,875 m) rising through cloud behind. In the foreground a large hotel or grand chalet sits amid pine trees on the hillside, with a small chapel below and scattered chalets on the slopes. The image is rendered in soft greens and blues typical of quality Swiss lithography of the period.
