The Peak of the Wetterhorn Stereoview Griffith & Griffith 1903 Switzerland

This antique stereoview card features a stunning view of The Peak of the Wetterhorn, a three-peaked mountain rising 12,150 feet above the ice fields of the Grindelwald Glaciers in Switzerland. The image was captured and published by Geo. H. Griffith, Publisher, Philadelphia, PA, and copyrighted in 1903 by Griffith & Griffith. The card is part of the "Switzerland Set" and depicts the rugged, precipitous cliffs of the Wetterhorn mountain, noted for its challenging ascent via ladders on the ledges. The stereoview format is typical of early 20th-century scenic photographic cards designed for 3D viewing.

The front side of the card includes the publisher's imprint and copyright details, while the reverse side provides a descriptive title and historical information about the scene. This stereoview is mounted on cardboard with a curved mount typical of the era. The card's sepia-tone photograph offers a classic Victorian-era look at one of Switzerland's famous alpine landmarks, making it a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of vintage stereographs, geographic views, and early photographic history.
