EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the entrance and exit of the historic Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland. Nestled amidst the majestic Alps, the tunnel is a testament to human ingenuity and the indomitable spirit of the Swiss people. In the foreground, we see a group of Alpine folk from Unterwalden, a forest-canton located in central Switzerland, south of Lake Lucerne. The old name of this canton was Sylvania, reflecting its rich forested landscapes. The family, dressed in traditional attire, exudes a sense of warmth and connection to their rural heritage. The father, wearing a felt hat and holding a walking stick, leads the way, while his wife and children follow closely behind. The scene is further enriched by the presence of Emmental cheese wheels and goat's milk churns, symbolizing the region's agricultural traditions. The Alps, with their snow-capped peaks and lush greenery, form a breathtaking backdrop to the family's simple yet profound moment. The Gotthard Tunnel, completed in 1882, revolutionized transportation in Europe, connecting Italy and Germany through Switzerland. This photograph captures a fleeting moment in history, as the family prepares to embark on their journey through the tunnel, leaving the familiar comforts of their home behind. The image invites us to reflect on the resilience and resourcefulness of the Swiss people, as they navigated the challenges of the Alpine terrain and forged a path towards progress.
