EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in Basle around 1872 by E I Roberts, offers a mesmerizing view of the Swiss city. The focal point is the Middle Bridge gracefully stretching across the majestic River Rhine. Beyond it stands Basel Minster, an awe-inspiring religious structure that adds to the city's enchanting skyline. This image was featured in Captain H M Hozier's book "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences" as a testament to the city's beauty during tumultuous times. Transportation plays a significant role in this scene, with boats gently gliding along the river's surface. The bridge not only connects different parts of Basel but also serves as a symbol of unity and progress. Its architectural elegance complements the surrounding buildings that dot both sides of the riverbank. Basel Minster dominates the landscape with its grandeur and intricate details, showcasing Switzerland's rich Christian heritage. The 19th-century engraving captures every minute aspect of this historical landmark. E I Roberts' skillful composition transports viewers back in time to witness Basle's charm during this period. The black and white aesthetic enhances our appreciation for both its geographical features and cultural significance. This remarkable print from Heritage Images invites us to immerse ourselves in Basle’s past—a moment frozen in time where transportation meets religion against a backdrop of natural beauty on the banks of River Rhine.
