Their exuberant expressions reveal their pride in this monumental achievement. The photograph provides a glimpse into a bygone era, where manual labor played an integral role in shaping infrastructure. Against the backdrop of towering alpine peaks, these dedicated workers toiled tirelessly to connect Switzerland through this ambitious engineering project. The engraving's vertical composition emphasizes both the magnitude of their accomplishment and their unwavering determination. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance amidst challenging terrain.
