1. Title: "A Glance into the Past: The Suspended Bridge of Fribourg, Switzerland (circa 1890s)" 2. Description: This coloured lantern slide presents a breathtaking view of the Suspended Bridge of Fribourg, Switzerland, as it spans the Sairne River. Built in 1834 by the ingenious Joseph Chaley, this iron wire suspension bridge held the title of the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its construction. The bridge's impressive design, suspended high above the river, allowed for unobstructed views of the picturesque Alpine landscape beyond. 3. Historical Context: The Suspended Bridge of Fribourg, a marvel of engineering during the late 19th century, was an essential connection between the two sides of the Sairne River. Measuring approximately 130 meters in length, it was a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its creator. The bridge stood tall until the 1920s, when it was eventually removed. 4. Technological Innovation: The bridge's construction marked a significant milestone in the history of suspension bridge engineering. Its iron wire suspension design, which was temporarily the longest in the world, paved the way for more advanced and larger suspension bridges that followed. The bridge's intricate details and stunning appearance are beautifully captured in this vibrant coloured lantern slide. 5. Preserving the Past: This rare and captivating image, Slide No. 46 of Box 181 entitled "Swiss No.1," offers a unique glimpse into the past.
