EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of Armaillis, or Swiss cowherds, tending to their herd in the picturesque village of Gruyères, Switzerland, circa 1930s. The Armaillis were traditional farmers and herdsmen who were renowned for their role in producing the famous Gruyère cheese. In this image, the venerable men, with their bearded faces and weathered features, are seen smoking their pipes and enjoying a moment of rest amidst the rolling hills and lush pastures. The cowherds are dressed in their traditional attire, complete with wide-brimmed hats, long coats, and sturdy boots. The scene is further enhanced by the colorful banners and flags that adorn their clothing, adding a vibrant touch to the otherwise serene landscape. The men hold their staffs and gaze off into the distance, perhaps contemplating the day's tasks or simply enjoying the peace and tranquility of the countryside. This photograph is a beautiful testament to the rich cultural heritage and traditions of rural Switzerland, providing a glimpse into a bygone era that continues to captivate and inspire.
