EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-010776-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Bern, Switzerland.

Taken between 1890 and 1910 approximately, this photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also showcases two significant periods in history. The artwork itself dates back to 1191 when it was originally constructed as a fortified tower for military defense purposes. However, it underwent renovations in 1771 that transformed it into an architectural masterpiece we see today. The attention to detail is evident as we observe every element of this structure; from its intricate portico and decorative sections to its sturdy housing and fortified design. The gateway leading up to the tower adds an aura of grandeur while emphasizing its historical significance.
