EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this coloured lantern slide image of Lake Sarnen, also known as Sarnersee, in the Swiss Canton of Obwalden. Dating back to the late 1890s, this photograph transports us to a bygone era with its vibrant hues and intriguing history. Nestled between the majestic Alps, Lake Sarnen is a stunning natural wonder, measuring approximately 7.5km in area and reaching a maximum depth of 51 meters. The tranquil waters reflect the picturesque towns of Sarnen and Sachseln, located on the lake's shores. The Sarnen Sea, as this image is titled, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the serene beauty of this Alpine lake during a time when colour lantern slides were a popular means of entertainment and education. The lantern slide, number 21 of Box 181, entitled 'Swiss No.1', provides a unique perspective on the rich history and natural wonders of Switzerland during the late 19th century. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the excitement of early travellers and explorers who marvelled at the breathtaking vistas of the Swiss Alps and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Sarnen. This coloured lantern slide is not only a testament to the beauty of Switzerland but also a reminder of the importance of preserving our history for future generations to enjoy.
