EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1920, capturing the magnificent Frutigen Viaduct in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. The viaduct stands tall and proud amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Swiss landscape. The photographer, G. Schneiter, skillfully captures every detail of this architectural marvel that spans over a picturesque valley. The sturdy stone pillars rise from the ground, supporting an intricate lattice of iron beams that stretch across the horizon. It is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. This image comes from 'Histoire de la Locomotion terrestre: les chemins de fer', a historical documentation by Charles Dollfus and Edgar de Geoffroy published in Paris between 1935 and 1942. It offers us a glimpse into an era when train travel was at its peak. In this early 20th-century scene, we can imagine hearing the rhythmic chugging sound of locomotives as they traverse this impressive railway structure. This photograph not only showcases transportation history but also provides insight into social history during this time period. The Frutigen Viaduct represents more than just a means of getting from one place to another; it symbolizes progress, connectivity, and unity within Europe. As part of Switzerland's extensive rail network, it played a vital role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange throughout the continent. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece of history for us to admire today through their fine art collection. Let yourself be transported back in time with this remarkable print that encapsulates both natural beauty and human achievement in one frame
