Altdorf in Switzerland in 1959

This is a view of the town of Altdorf in Switzerland that was taken in 1959 during a holiday. The photo is a bit defocussed, and unfortunately also suffers from a large fungal growth in the centre right of the scene.

The cars seen in the photo are very typical of the era; a Volkswagen Beetle and a Volvo Amazon as well as an Opel Rekord. The general look of the scene, with people wandering about, looking relaxed and in normal outdoor clothes but not heavy coats suggests it was possibly taken in the spring or autumn.
