1905 Bücherzettel from Prell & Eberle to Interlaken

This "Bücherzettel" (book slip) from 1905 is an example of the commercial correspondence of Prell & Eberle, Buch- und Kunsthandlung, a company based in Lucerne. The card was sent on 15 July 1905 and reached Interlaken on the same day. It was addressed to Photographie Tabbler, one of the photography studios active in the region at the time. Although the exact years of the studio's operation are unknown, its location suggests that it likely worked on views of the Bernese Alps.

The printed form titled "Bücherzettel" indicates that the company was engaged not only in books but also in art prints, photo albums, and postcards. As such, the document offers valuable insight into both the commercial communication practices of the period and the intersection between the book and art trade and early photographic production.
