Kaltbad and the Alps, Rigi, Switzerland (ca. 1890-1900): A Journey Back in Time Step into the past with this captivating, coloured photograph of Kaltbad and the Alps, Rigi, Switzerland, dating back to the late 19th century. The image transports us to a time of nostalgia and wonder, inviting us to explore the history and beauty of this picturesque scene. Located on the shores of Lake Lucerne, the quaint village of Kaltbad (Cold Bath) was renowned for its therapeutic mineral springs and stunning vistas of the surrounding Alps. This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases the village's rustic charm and the majestic mountains that loom in the background. The Alps, with their snow-capped peaks and lush greenery, have long been a source of inspiration and allure for visitors from around the world. The photograph, which is part of the historical collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the artistry and innovation of the 19th-century photographic process known as photochrom. This method, which involved hand-colouring photographs using a series of pigments, allowed for the creation of vibrant, lifelike images that captured the essence of their subjects in a way that monochrome photographs could not. As we gaze at this enchanting image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to experience the nostalgia and history of a bygone era. The village of Kaltbad, with its quaint houses and tranquil lake, is a reminder of the simple pleasures and natural beauty that have long drawn visitors to the Swiss Alps. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of photography but also a celebration of the enduring allure of the Alps and the charm of a simpler time.
