This is a vintage color postcard depicting a mountain range with anthropomorphic features. The mountains are given distinct human-like faces with expressions, beards, and hats that seem to blend naturally with their rocky forms. Below the mountains, there is a picturesque image of a building resembling a classic European style hotel or lodge sitting near a body of water, probably a lake. The title on the postcard reads "Die Wächter des Rosengartens" in German, which translates to "The Guardians of the Rose Garden", and in French, "Les gardiens du jardin des roses". The faces in the mountains give a sense of mythological guardians watching over the landscape. Across the bottom left corner, there is handwriting, suggesting that this postcard was used for correspondence. It's partly obscured by the design, but you can see a signature that reads "Hansen." At the bottom right, the publisher's mark, "F. Killinger, Zürich. Nr. 97," indicates the postcard's origin and series number.

The image depicts a fantastical landscape with tall, rugged rock formations in vibrant shades of orange and red. The rock faces appear to have human-like features or faces carved into them, creating an almost mythical or otherworldly atmosphere. In the foreground, there is a small village or settlement nestled among the mountains. The overall style of the image has an intricate, illustrative quality, suggesting it may be an artistic interpretation or depiction of a real or imagined place. The text at the bottom indicates this is a scene from "The Garden of the Rose Garden", though I cannot identify any specific individuals mentioned in the text.
