This historical postcard captures a picturesque view of Alpenquai in Zurich, Switzerland, featuring the striking Lion Monument standing on a pedestal in the waters of Lake Zurich.
The Lion Monument in the water was originally erected in Alpenquai, Zurich, as a tribute to the Swiss soldiers who fought in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). It was later removed, making this view a rare glimpse into Zurich’s past.
This postcard follows a classic early 20th-century divided-back format, printed in multiple languages (French, German, and Italian).
Front Text: "Zürich, Alpenquai." (German: Zurich, Alpenquai.)
Size ±: 14 cm x 9 cm
