EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario in 1837, showcases the Old Stone Devils Bridge or Teufelsbruche, a historical landmark located near Andermatt, Switzerland. Dating back to 1595, this architectural marvel spans the breathtaking Schollenen Gorge and has long been a source of fascination and wonder. The bridge, also known as Ponte dello del Diavolo or Devil's Bridge, is depicted here with its intricate stone arches, weathered by centuries of use and the elements. The bridge's name is believed to have originated from local legends about the devil's involvement in its construction. In the foreground, the serene waters of the lake reflect the beauty of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. The Tellskappelle, a small chapel dedicated to the Swiss hero William Tell, can be seen on the shoreline. The chapel, with its distinctive bell tower, adds to the picturesque scene and further emphasizes the rich history and cultural significance of this location. This illustration is taken from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, published in Florence in 1837. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving showcases not only the beauty of the Devils Bridge but also the fashion and style of the 1800s. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance and the beauty of this remarkable structure.
