Postcard Ulvik Fjord Hardanger Norway Spring Blossoms Chrome Aune c1960s

Ulvik, Hardanger, Norway1962ChromeGood

Apple blossoms tumble across the foreground in extravagant white clusters while the blue mirror of the Ulvik fjord retreats into the snow-capped peaks of inner Hardanger — this is Norway at its most seductively beautiful, the brief magical weeks each May when the orchards of the fjord district burst into flower just as the high-country snowfields begin to melt. Published by Knut Aune Kunstforlag, one of Norway's most respected mid-century postcard houses, the card is part of their "Et ekte Aune kort" (A genuine Aune card) series, printed by Ultra and identified as series F-1335-3, titled in both Norwegian (Utsikt over Ulvik-fjorden, Indre Hardanger) and English (View of the Ulvik fjord, Hardanger). The Hardanger region, already famous for its folk embroidery and its cider, became a postcard staple in the 1950s–60s as Scandinavian tourism blossomed alongside those orchards. This unused card carries pencilled price notation "25" (øre, likely original retail).
