EDITORS COMMENTS
The St Gothard Tunnel linking Italy and Switzerland by rail is a marvel of engineering that connected two countries through the heart of the Alps. This print captures a moment in history during the construction of this monumental tunnel, showing workmen man-handling wagons to remove debris from the Swiss end.
The dedication and hard work of these men is evident as they laboriously clear away obstacles to make way for progress. The first works train passed through the tunnel on 2 March 1880, marking a significant milestone in transportation history.
This wood engraving, published in Paris in 1880, immortalizes the ingenuity and determination required to build such an ambitious project. The collaboration between Italian and Swiss workers symbolizes unity and cooperation across borders.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of human innovation and perseverance. The St Gothard Tunnel stands as a testament to what can be achieved when people come together with a common goal.
Let us honor those who worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality, shaping not only physical connections but also fostering bonds between nations. The legacy of the St Gothard Tunnel continues to inspire awe and admiration for generations to come.
