The Gorge of Sallenches, Savoy, 1860. Creator: Jean Adolphe Beauce
The Gorge of Sallenches, Savoy, 1860. In a mountainous country like Savoy the gorges and passes are, of course, very frequent; they, as well as the glaciers, form a series of picturesque attractions which stop the traveller on his way to Switzerland, and before he has yet reached the more imposing scenery in the neighbourhood of Mont Blanc. The Gorge of Sallenches...is one of those passes situated near the Alpine chain that will form the new frontier of France in the event of the neutrality of the two districts at Chablais and Faucigny being discontinued...By telegram we learn that their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of the French, in their progress through the new departments of Savoy and Nice, reached Sallenches on Saturday last, and that they were enthusiastically greeted by numerous inhabitants of the mountains scattered in groups along the road'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Gorge of Sallenches, Savoy, 1860: A Scene of Rural Life in the Alps This black and white print, created by Jean Adolphe Beauce in 1860, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Gorge of Sallenches in Savoy, a mountainous region located between France and Switzerland. In a time before mass tourism, the gorges and passes of the Alps served as picturesque attractions for travelers making their way to Switzerland, offering a glimpse of the awe-inspiring natural wonders that lay ahead. The scene unfolds along the banks of a serene river, where the crystal-clear waters flow gracefully through the rugged terrain. A goatherd, dressed in traditional attire, tends to his herd of goats, skillfully guiding them across the rocky landscape. The herdswoman, a young girl with a determined expression, follows closely behind, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of her charges. The print, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the essence of rural life in the Alps during the nineteenth century. The region's rich geography, characterized by its towering mountains, winding rivers, and lush greenery, is on full display. The print also provides a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived and worked in this rugged terrain, where the simple pleasures of tending to livestock and enjoying the natural beauty of the land were cherished. The Gorge of Sallenches holds historical significance as well, as it is one of the passes situated near the Alpine chain that would become the new frontier of France in the event of the neutrality of the two districts at Chablais and Faucigny being discontinued. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the region's complex history and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
