EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Mount Pilatus in Switzerland, captured in the early 1900s. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era. Mount Pilatus, located near Lucerne, is one of Switzerland's most famous and iconic mountains. Its rugged peaks and breathtaking vistas have long attracted visitors from around the world. In this early 20th-century photograph, we see the mountain in all its grandeur, its snow-capped summit reaching for the sky. The scene is further enhanced by the tranquil waters of Lake Lucerne, reflecting the clear blue sky and the surrounding landscape. In the foreground, a Victorian or Edwardian-era lantern slide adds an intriguing touch, reminding us of the era's fascination with capturing and projecting images. The presence of the hotel at the base of the mountain suggests that tourism was already a significant industry in the region. Visitors would travel by boat across the lake to reach the mountain, then take a cogwheel train or a funicular railway to reach the summit. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty of Mount Pilatus and the allure it held for travelers over a century ago. It invites us to imagine the experiences of those early tourists, who marveled at the same breathtaking views and breathtaking vistas that continue to captivate visitors today.
