EDITORS COMMENTS
William Tell's Chapel, also known as the Tellskappelle, is a historic site located on the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. This beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario in his Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World published in Florence in 1837, captures the stunning beauty of the chapel against the backdrop of Lake Lucerne in the 1800s. The chapel, dedicated to the Swiss national hero William Tell, is a popular tourist destination and a symbol of Swiss identity. According to legend, Tell shot an apple off his son's head with a bow and arrow to prove his loyalty to the Swiss people and their freedom from Austrian rule. The story of Tell's bravery and defiance against tyranny has been passed down through generations and is an integral part of Swiss folklore. In this engraving, we see the chapel perched on a rocky outcropping, surrounded by lush greenery and the tranquil waters of Lake Lucerne. The Rhine Falls, or the Rhine Cascade, can be seen in the background, adding to the scenic beauty of the image. The waterfall, located near the town of Schaffhausen in Switzerland, is the largest waterfall in Europe and is a popular tourist attraction in its own right. The intricate details of the chapel and the surrounding landscape are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured copperplate engraving, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a glimpse into the historical fashion and cultural traditions of the time. The engraving is a testament to the rich history and natural beauty of Switzerland and is a must-see for anyone interested in European history and culture.
