Shimmering reflections of the medieval Wasserturm (Water Tower) ripple across the Reuss River in this exquisite early chromolithograph of Lucerne's iconic Kapellbrücke — Switzerland's beloved 14th-century covered wooden footbridge stretches diagonally across the frame, its terracotta-tiled roof warm against a pale alpine sky, as two figures promenade along the embankment and a "Bureau Office" sign hints at the cosmopolitan commerce of Belle Époque Luzern. Published by the prestigious Zürich house of Künzli-Tobler (catalog no. 1134), this card exemplifies the very finest Swiss chromolithographic postcard production of the undivided-back era, its saturated teal water and architectural precision making it as much art object as correspondence card.
