The image depicts a vintage postcard showing an idyllic view of Lake Maggiore with the Isola Bella and Isole Borromee islands in the background. The scene is framed by lush greenery, including trees and bushes that partially obscure the distant view. In the foreground on the right side, there's handwritten text which reads "Lago Maggiori," "Isola Bella," along with some additional handwriting. At the bottom left corner of the card, it states "66 Graph. Ges., Berlin" indicating a German origin and production from Berlin.

The color scheme is muted with soft pastels, evoking an old-fashioned aesthetic typical for postcards dating back to late 19th or early 20th century. The overall condition appears aged but well-preserved, hinting at the historical significance of such items as souvenirs from famous landmarks and travel destinations.

The text mentions "Ed. M. Leri, Lavreno," suggesting that this card was published by Edouard de Martino (M. Leri) in La Verbano-Cavour (Lavreno), a town on Lake Maggiore's northern shore. This further ties the image to its geographical origin and historical context.

The combination of natural beauty, handwritten elements, and textual information makes this postcard both an artistic piece and a historical record from Europe during that era.
