EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Gothard Tunnel and the Axenstrasse along Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900. The image showcases the picturesque and nostalgic charm of the late 19th century, with the vibrant colors of the photochrom process adding to its historical allure. The Gothard Tunnel, a marvel of engineering at the time, can be seen in the background, its arched entrance framing the scenic beauty of Lake Lucerne. The tunnel, completed in 1882, was the longest railway tunnel in the world at the time, connecting the northern and southern parts of Switzerland. The Axenstrasse, a winding road that follows the lake's shoreline, is bustling with activity. Horse-drawn carriages and wagons make their way along the road, while people can be seen strolling along the lakefront, taking in the breathtaking views. The clear waters of Lake Lucerne reflect the surrounding mountains, creating a stunning mirror image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when travel was slower, and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty of Switzerland and the allure of its historic landscapes.
