EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the breathtaking views from the Findelenbachbrucke (Findelenbach Bridge) on the Gornergratbahn (Gornergrat Railway) in the Swiss Canton of Valais. The electric railway, a marvel of engineering in the early 20th century, is seen here crossing the bridge over the Findelnbach (Findelenbach Stream), which tumbles down from the glaciers of the Gornergrat. The carriages of the rack railway, with their distinctive racks for gripping the track, are dwarfed by the towering Matterhorn, its peak shrouded in snow and ice. The bridge, a vital transport link in the region, offers visitors a unique vantage point to witness the raw power of the waterfall and the lush, green valley below. The serene landscape, punctuated by the railway tracks and carriages, transports us back in time to an era of romantic travel and awe-inspiring natural wonders.
