EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases a breathtaking view of Lausanne, Switzerland. Nestled on the shores of the tranquil Geneva Lake, the city's picturesque landscape is framed by the majestic Savoy Alps in the background. The nineteenth-century image, with its rich, colored hues, transports us back in time to an era of nostalgia and history. The Savoy Alps, a range of mountains straddling the border between Switzerland and Italy, have long been a source of inspiration for artists and travelers alike. Their snow-capped peaks rise majestically against the clear blue sky, adding an element of grandeur to the scene. Lausanne, the largest city in the canton of Vaud, is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva. In this photograph, we can see the city's rooftops, dotted with red tiles, sprawling out before us. The lake, shimmering in the sunlight, reflects the beauty of the surrounding landscape. This photograph, with its historical significance and nostalgic charm, offers a glimpse into the past. The use of the photochrom process, a popular method of colorizing photographs during this time, adds to the image's allure. The result is a stunning, coloured representation of a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and history of Lausanne and the Savoy Alps.
