The image features a panoramic view of the snow-covered Breithorn peak (4171 meters) in the Swiss Alps near Zermatt. A diverse group of early twentieth-century travelers in period attire, including men in bowler hats and women in long dresses, are seen congregating at the summit. One individual is looking through a mounted telescope, highlighting the peak of Alpine tourism following the 1898 opening of the Gornergrat Railway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Undivided Back (1905)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Zermatt (Gornergrat)\u003cbr\u003eState: Valais (Wallis)\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Swiss Alps\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Switzerland\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Alpine Tourism, Gornergrat Summit, Breithorn Mountain, Mountaineering History, Swiss Landscapes.\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Circulated\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: Undivided Back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Not Stated\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Phototypie Co., Neuchâtel (Series No. 11180)\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Phototypie Co., Neuchâtel\u003cbr\u003ePrint Type: Phototypie \/ Collotype\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis card features extensive postal history and a detailed travel narrative. It was postmarked on July 28, 1905, with two \"Martigny-Ville AMBULANT\" railway postmarks and a red 10-centime Helvetia stamp. It is addressed to Miss Margaret F. Shaw in Honolulu, Hawaii (T.H.), via New York. The lengthy message, dated July 25, 1905, describes a 12-hour ride and a 4-mile walk to a place with no railroad, mentioning finding edelweiss, forget-me-nots, and bluebells. The sender, \"R.C.S.,\" notes they are shipping their suitcases because they are too heavy to carry while traveling with hand luggage. The undivided back confirms its production during the era when the reverse was strictly for the address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Lucky Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46688603340989,"sku":"2708","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/2708a.jpg?v=1776716214","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/2708","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
