This image is an illustration that creatively combines two mountain peaks with human-like faces to form a whimsical, anthropomorphic scene. On the left, a larger, rugged peak is fashioned to look like an elderly man, with features resembling a heavy brow, eyes, nose, and a white beard, making a twisted grumpy or disappointed expression. On the right, another peak is shaped into a joyful or laughing face, characterized by a wide smile and seemingly closed, joyful eyes. Between the two mountain "faces," there appears to be a sunset or sunrise, with shades of orange and yellow in the sky. At the bottom left of the postcard, there's a caption that reads "Altmann u. Papa Säntis," likely referencing the names of the peaks depicted. Below the illustration, in cursive script, is the German phrase "Herzlichen Glückwunsch!" which translates to "Heartfelt Congratulations!" in English. In the bottom corners are credits: on the left is "Fr. Ant. Prantl, München," possibly the publisher, and on the right is a signature that appears to read "E. Hansen," likely the artist of the illustration. The bottom right corner also includes the text "TECHNIK: DR. A. ALBERT & Co., München," which might refer to the printing technique or company involved in producing the postcard.

The image depicts a fantastical mountainous landscape with a large, exaggerated face in the foreground. The face appears to be that of an elderly, weathered man with a bushy beard and prominent features. The background shows snow-capped peaks against an orange sky. The overall impression is one of a surreal, imaginative scene.
