About this postcard

An aeroplane view looks down on Lake Louise and its chalet, set among forested slopes and the snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies. The chalet, later Chateau Lake Louise, was a Canadian Pacific Railway resort in Banff National Park; the lake and surrounding mountains drew tourists by rail. The photograph is credited to Canada's Department of National Defence.
