EDITORS COMMENTS
Rutli Meadow and Urnersee, Lake Lucerne, Switzerland (ca. 1890-1900) This beautifully colored and nostalgic photograph captures the picturesque scene of Rutli Meadow and Urnersee, located on the shores of Lake Lucerne in central Switzerland. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, a period of great historical significance for the Swiss people. Rutli Meadow holds a special place in Swiss history as the site where the Swiss Confederation was founded on August 1, 1332. According to legend, the representatives of the three forest cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden gathered at Rutli to form a defensive alliance against the Austrian threat. This event is considered the birth of the Swiss Confederation and the beginning of Swiss independence. The photograph shows the tranquil waters of Urnersee reflecting the clear blue sky and the surrounding mountains. The lush green meadow, dotted with wildflowers, is a peaceful contrast to the rugged terrain of the mountains in the background. The small wooden houses and barns nestled among the trees add to the idyllic scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and natural beauty of Switzerland. The use of the photochrom process, a popular method for producing colored photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds to the nostalgic feel of the image. The photograph invites us to imagine the stories and traditions that have unfolded on this very spot over the centuries, making it a valuable historical and artistic treasure.
