    Description

    You are bidding on 2 postcards.
    1) Lake Lucerne-The Lion's Monument-(1821) postcard depicts a giant dying lion carved out of a wall of sandstone rock above a pond.
    Designed as a monument for the mercenary soldiers from Central Switzerland who lost their lives while serving the French King Louis XVI during French Revolution.
    2) Richard Wagner Museum-Tribschen (today part of Lucerne). It was here Wagner composed SIEGFRIED IDYLL as a birthday present to his second wife, Cosima, after the birth of their son Siegfried in 1869.
    It was first performed on Christmas morning, 25 December 1870 by a small ensemble of the Tonhalle Orchestra  Aurich on the stairs of their villa at Tribschen.
    Cosima awoke to the opening melody. Conductor Hans Richter learned the trumpet part in order to play the brief trumpet part, which lasts only 13 measures.
    The post card is stamped with the Museum's name stamp.
    Both post cards in very fine condition.
