This print captures the essence of the shooting festival that took place in Winterthur, Switzerland in 1895. The vibrant colours and intricate details of this colour lithograph bring to life the excitement and grandeur of this historic event. The image showcases a bustling city square with a magnificent fountain as its centerpiece. Surrounding it are landmark buildings that serve as a backdrop for the festivities. The festival attracted exhibitors from all over Europe, making it an important event on the continent's cultural calendar. Intriguingly, this photograph is actually a postcard from the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing how even back then people cherished memories through printed images. It serves as a testament to both Swiss craftsmanship and European unity during this time period. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the marksman competition taking place at the festival.
