EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Rigi Rothorn, Vitznau, and the Alps in Switzerland, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900. The image showcases the picturesque beauty of the Swiss Alps, as seen from the vantage point of Rigi Rothorn. The tranquil town of Vitznau nestles in the valley below, surrounded by the majestic peaks and lush greenery. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of Swiss tourism during the 19th century. Rigi Rothorn, one of the most popular destinations for visitors, was easily accessible by steamship and cog railway, making it a must-visit for both domestic and international travelers. The nostalgic charm of this coloured print transports us back to an era when the simple pleasures of nature and the breathtaking views it offered were the main attractions. This photograph is a prime example of the Photochrom process, a popular method for producing colourised photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The process involved hand-painting selected areas of photographs with watercolour dyes, resulting in vibrant, coloured images that added a new dimension to photographic art. As we gaze upon this nostalgic view, we are reminded of the enduring allure of the Swiss Alps and the rich history that surrounds them. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the experiences of travelers from a bygone era.
