Gotthard Wassen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases the picturesque village of Wassen nestled at the foot of the stunning Alps in central Switzerland. The village is renowned for its historic significance as a crucial stopover on the ancient Roman road and later, the traditional route for travelers crossing the St. Gotthard Pass. At the heart of this scene, the Middle Maienreuss Bridge stands proudly, spanning the crystal-clear waters of the Maienreuss River. The bridge, built in the late 19th century, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, with its elegant arches and intricate stonework. The bridge's vibrant, coloured appearance is a result of the photochrom process, a popular method for producing colour photographs during the late 1800s and early 1900s. As you gaze upon this nostalgic image, you can almost hear the gentle babble of the river and feel the crisp mountain air on your face. The quaint houses and charming village square transport us back to a simpler time, evoking a sense of history and tradition. This photograph print is not only an exquisite piece of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Wassen and the St. Gotthard region of Switzerland. The 19th century was a time of great change and progress, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder that existed during that era. Its vibrant colours and intricate details make it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast, and its nostalgic charm is sure to inspire awe and admiration for generations to come.
