Postcard 1956 RPPC Zürichsee Glärnischgruppe Uetliberg Switzerland Mailed

Uetliberg / Lake Zurich, Switzerland1956RPPCGood

Sweeping down from the Uetliberg's forested ridge, this breathtaking real-photo postcard captures Lake Zurich shimmering into the distance, the snow-crowned Glärnisch massif of the Alps forming a serrated white horizon — one of the classic panoramas of the Swiss Mittelland. Postmarked from Uetliberg on 15 October 1956 and addressed to a recipient named Lili in Vienna, Austria, the card carries a handwritten message in German from a sender who signed off warmly, referencing children and a journey. The Photoglob-Wehrli AG imprint is a mark of Swiss photographic excellence — this Zurich firm produced some of the finest topographic cards of the 20th century. The Helvetia 20-centime stamp is cleanly cancelled, adding philatelic appeal to this charming, well-traveled alpine souvenir.
