About This Design

William Tell Monument Postcard

William Tell Monument Postcard

The William Tell Monument, located in Altdorf, Switzerland, commemorates the legendary Swiss folk hero, William Tell. Erected in 1895, the monument stands in the town square, Kapellplatz, where, according to legend, Tell shot an apple off his son's head with a crossbow as a demonstration of his marksmanship. The iconic story of William Tell has been ingrained in Swiss cultural identity as a symbol of resistance against tyranny and the struggle for freedom. The monument itself features a larger-than-life bronze statue of William Tell holding a crossbow, with his son by his side. It was crafted by sculptor Richard Kissling, a Swiss artist known for his public monuments. The William Tell Monument serves as a focal point for both locals and tourists, symbolising the enduring spirit of Swiss independence. The site also includes reliefs depicting scenes from the Tell legend, contributing to the storytelling aspect of the monument. William Tell's legacy and the monument have become integral to Swiss national pride and identity. The figure of William Tell, whether portrayed in literature, art, or on the Altdorf square, embodies the Swiss values of courage, resistance against oppression, and the pursuit of liberty. The monument not only pays homage to a mythical hero but also serves as a cultural touchstone, reminding the Swiss people of their historical narrative and the ideals that have shaped their nation.

Such a huge range of different frogs available, which made my choices very difficult and now the reason I have a whole draw full of cards and postcards! Much better quality than you can buy in the shops and they are exactly on the subject I love and adore too.
