EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1921, showcases the breathtaking scenery of Zermatt, Switzerland, with the iconic Matterhorn, also known as Mount Cervin, towering in the background. The snow-capped peak, a symbol of the Swiss Alps, stands proudly against the clear blue sky, its triangular shape a testament to nature's grandeur. In the foreground, the River Vispe meanders through the quaint Alpine town, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant autumn colors of the surrounding trees. The image also features the Railway Bridge, an engineering marvel that spans the river, connecting the town with the rest of the valley. A train of the Gornergratbahn, a historic rack railway, can be seen crossing the bridge, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The train, a popular means of transportation to reach the Gornergrat, offers visitors stunning views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding mountains. In the distance, the Dependance Hotel, with its red roofs and white facade, can be seen nestled among the trees. The hotel, a beau site in itself, offers visitors a chance to experience the rustic charm of Zermatt while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Matterhorn and the Alps. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, captures the timeless beauty of Zermatt and the majesty of the Matterhorn, making it a must-see for any nature lover or photography enthusiast.
