The medieval Kapellbrücke stretches across the Reuss in Lucerne — its covered wooden galleries mirrored in the glassy water alongside the dramatic octagonal Wasserthurm — in this stunning undivided-back view that captures Switzerland's most photographed landmark before the devastating 1993 fire that would destroy much of the original structure, making images like this one precious historical documents. Published by Verlag Gebrüder Wehrli of Kilchberg near Zurich and printed by the celebrated Kunstanstalt Louis Glaser of Leipzig, this card represents a pinnacle of late Victorian Swiss postcard production — two premier names collaborating on one image. A traveler named Auguste or a souvenir-hunter named Frieda might have posted this home from Lucerne's famous lakeside promenade, the Schweizerhofquai just visible beyond the Reuss.
