EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, mounted police officers patrol the high street of Wil, a charming Swiss town nestled in the heart of the country. The officers, dressed in their traditional uniforms, ride their horses with confidence and poise, their steady gaze scanning the crowded street below. The horses, with their glossy coats and proud posture, seem to blend effortlessly into the scene, their hooves clicking gently on the cobblestones. The narrow, winding street is lined with quaint shops and buildings, their signs and shutters adding a sense of character and charm to the scene. Cars are parked haphazardly along the side of the road, their owners likely taking a moment to appreciate the picturesque scene unfolding before them. The horses and riders, with their timeless presence, seem to stand in stark contrast to the emerging modernity of the automobile. The atmosphere is one of tranquility and order, as the mounted police continue their patrol, ensuring the safety and security of the town and its inhabitants. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era when horses and horseback riding were still a common sight on the streets of Swiss towns. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to thrive in Wil and throughout Switzerland.
