EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide presents a breathtaking view of the traditional Walser mountain village of Murren, nestled in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. Dating back to the 1890s, this image transports us to an era long past, showcasing the timeless beauty of the Swiss Alps. Perched at an elevation of 1,650 meters above sea level, the village of Murren is a hidden gem, inaccessible by public road, and home to just 450 residents. Surrounded by the towering peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, the village is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who call it home. Murren's unique history and isolation have preserved its traditional architecture and way of life. The village's narrow streets, wooden chalets, and quaint stone houses are a delight to behold, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. This stunning lantern slide, labeled as Swiss No.1 in Box 181, invites us to explore the rich history and natural beauty of Murren and the Swiss Alps. As we gaze upon the image, we can almost hear the gentle tinkling of cowbells and feel the crisp mountain air on our faces. A true treasure from the late 19th century, this image is a reminder of the magic and wonder that lies within the Swiss Alps.
