EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning, coloured photograph of Axenstrasse, a picturesque promenade along the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. Dating back to the late 19th century, around 1890 to 1900, this photograph captures the nostalgic charm of a bygone era. The tranquil lake, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, reflects the vibrant hues of the buildings and trees lining the promenade. Axenstrasse, named after the ancient Roman spa that once stood nearby, has long been a popular destination for visitors to Lucerne. In this photograph, we see horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians strolling along the promenade, taking in the breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding Alps. The quaint shops and cafes, with their colorful facades, add to the charming atmosphere. This photograph is a beautiful example of the Photochrom process, a method of producing colored photographs from black and white negatives, which was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The process involved hand-painting each print with watercolors, resulting in rich, vibrant colors and a unique, artisanal quality. Today, Axenstrasse remains a popular attraction in Lucerne, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's rich history and cultural heritage. This photograph, with its nostalgic charm and historical significance, is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the history and beauty of Switzerland.
