EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases the breathtaking Monument of Strasburg in Basle, Switzerland. The Monument, also known as the Tulla Tower, is a historical landmark that stands proudly over the Rhine River. Its intricate Gothic Revival architecture transports us back in time, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the nineteenth century. The Monument, built between 1892 and 1897, is a testament to the rich history of Basle, a city located in the northwest of Switzerland. The tower, which stands at a height of 117 meters, was constructed to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the city's charter. The monument's design is a fusion of various architectural styles, including Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance elements. This coloured photograph, with its picturesque and vibrant hues, offers a unique perspective of the Monument. The use of the Photochrom process, a popular method for producing colour photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds to the nostalgic appeal of the image. The process involved the use of multiple glass plates, each coated with a different color filter, to capture various color components of the scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of the Monument of Strasburg in its historical context. The photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that Basle and Switzerland have to offer.
