On Christmas 1912, someone pressed this card into a collection with a handwritten note identifying the scene: "1912 Weihnachten (das alte Aroser Kirchlein)" — Christmas 1912, the little old church of Arosa — and the image earns every word of sentiment. The ancient stone chapel of Inner-Arosa, its wooden bell tower capped with a pointed spire and weather-vane, emerges from a monumental snowfield that has buried everything to the eaves; only the tower's upper half and a few dark timber struts rise above the white. Tiny farm buildings are half-swallowed in the middle distance, and the jagged Graubünden peaks fill the sky behind, dusted with fresh alpine powder. It is a quintessential Swiss winter scene, all silence and altitude, captured by Wehrli A.-G. of Kilchberg at the very moment Arosa was beginning its transformation from a remote tuberculosis-cure village into a fashionable ski resort.
