EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Picturesque View of Stans, Lake of the Four Cantons, and Rigi, Stanserhorn, Switzerland (ca. 1890-1900)" 2. Description: This photograph print transports us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a breathtaking view of the Swiss landscape. The image features the quaint town of Stans nestled at the foot of the majestic Rigi mountain, with the shimmering Lake of the Four Cantons reflecting the vibrant colors of the scene. 3. Historical Context: Taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, this photograph is a testament to the rich history and picturesque beauty of Switzerland during the nineteenth century. The use of the Photochrom process, a popular method for producing colored photographs during this period, adds an extra layer of nostalgia and charm to the image. 4. Composition: The composition of the photograph is expertly balanced, with the town of Stans and the lake occupying the foreground, while the towering Rigi mountain dominates the background. The inclusion of the Four Cantons in the lake's name refers to the four cantons (regions) of Central Switzerland that border the lake: Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, and Nidwalden. 5. Cultural Significance: The Rigi mountain, and particularly Stanserhorn, has long been a popular destination for tourists due to its stunning views and historical significance. The area has been attracting visitors since the late 1800s, making this photograph an important piece of Swiss cultural history. 6.
