EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide, titled Swiss No. 1 (Slide number 42 of Box 181), showcases a breathtaking view of Thun, Switzerland, from Belle Vue Pavilion. Situated where the River Aar flows out of Lake Thun (Thunersee), approximately 30 km south of Bern, Thun has been an essential hub of economic and historical significance since the late 19th century. The serene image of Thun, as captured in this vintage lantern slide, highlights the picturesque blend of the lake, the river, and the town nestled amidst the majestic Alps. Thun's economic importance extends beyond tourism, with machine and precision instrument engineering, the largest garrison in the country, the food industry, and publishing playing significant roles in the town's development. As you gaze at this evocative image, imagine the bustling activity of the town in the late 1890s. The hustle and bustle of the machine and precision instrument engineering factories, the military presence at the garrison, the vibrant food industry, and the bustling publishing houses would have contributed to the unique charm and energy of Thun during this era. This coloured lantern slide, a testament to the rich history of Thun, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the town's fascinating history and the myriad experiences it has to offer.
