Pictorial Post _ Card Ancestry It was in Switzerland that the mania for pictorial postcards first arose, and we well remember the as- tonishment evoked some years ago, at seeing at the Theodule Hut the excitement of a party of Germans upon their ascertaining that they could despatch hence. via. Italy, a sheaf of views of the Mater-horn. If one may judge from the very interesting collection of old Alpine prints, now on view at the. Alpine Club, Saville Row, London, our an- cestors were also eager to carry away; souvenirs of scenes unlike any to which they were accustomed, «and of‘ which the terrors and dangers were doubtless not unexaggerated. And so the Swiss, who were among the earliest to exploit colored engra- vings, provided them with materials with a sufficient spice of exaggeration to satisfy those who stayed at home. These they dedicated to the ”amate- iurs of the marvels of nature," and for them. they crowded into a single tlandscape a dozen Staubbachs, and any number of vaiguilles and glaciers with artists portraying them and peasants holding festival beneath them.-â€"-From the London Globe.
