EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Simplon Pass, a picturesque village nestled in the heart of the Valais Alps in Switzerland. Dating back to the late 19th century, this coloured photograph offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler era. The village, surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains, exudes a sense of tranquility and charm. The quaint houses with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls stand proudly against the backdrop of the breathtaking landscape. The village square, with its horse-drawn carts and locals in traditional attire, adds to the historical authenticity of the scene. The use of the photochrom process, a popular method of colour photography during this period, enhances the vibrancy and richness of the image, bringing the village to life in a way that photographs cannot. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing us with a window into the past and a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life in the Alps during the nineteenth century.
