1. Title: "A Coloured View Across Orta Lake, Italy - A Window into the Past from the Late 19th Century" This lantern slide, dated back to the late 1890s, presents a vibrant and enchanting view of Orta Lake in Italy. Part of the Boswell Collection, Box 214, Italy Coloured, this slide (number 5) transports us back in time, offering a historical perspective of this picturesque Italian destination. Orta Lake, located in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, has been a popular tourist attraction since the Roman times. The lake's unique charm lies in its serene beauty, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the surrounding hills and quaint villages. In this coloured view, we can see the stunning reflection of the buildings and trees on the lake's surface, creating an almost surreal image. The lantern slide's rich colours and intricate details reveal the charm of the Italian countryside during the late 19th century. The quaint houses and churches along the shoreline are adorned with terracotta roofs, while the lush greenery of the hills and the clear blue sky complete the idyllic scene. This historical artefact provides us with a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and charm of Orta Lake as it was seen over a century ago. The lantern slide serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Italy and its rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of photography to transport us through time and space, offering a window into the past that continues to inspire and delight us.
