Locarno Circa 1935

For Sunday, a restful view of Lake Maggiore at Locarno.

Locarno is a small city at the foot of the Swiss Alps, in the southernmost portion of Switzerland.

This area was inhabited by successive cultures and civilizations since prehistoric times.

The city is on Lake Maggiore, which forms the border with Italy.

Italian is the predominant language.

This original art was printed by “Edition Stehli”, a premier publisher of art books and of original postcard art in Switzerland.

At a time of worldwide depression, when the political landscape was growing dark all across Europe, these beautiful postcards were printed.
