1. Title: "A Scenic Panorama of Medieval Bern from Rosengarten, Switzerland - Late 19th Century Coloured Lantern Slide" This coloured lantern slide, titled "Swiss No.1" and catalogued as slide number 48 of Box 181, offers a glimpse into the past with its stunning view of Bern, Switzerland's historic capital city. The image, believed to date back to the late 1890s, captures the panoramic beauty of the Rosengarten, or Rose Garden, perched atop a hill. The Rosengarten, a well-kept rosarium and converted park, is a popular attraction for visitors seeking a scenic vantage point of Bern's medieval town centre. Originally a cemetery, the garden underwent a transformation in 1913, becoming a tranquil oasis filled with vibrant roses and offering a breathtaking view of the Old Town. The photograph, taken during the late 19th century, showcases the picturesque charm of Bern's medieval architecture, with its colorful houses, winding streets, and towering spires. The serene Rosengarten serves as the perfect backdrop, providing a striking contrast between the past and the present. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the lantern slide being projected onto a screen during a presentation, transporting the audience to the heart of Switzerland. The Rosengarten, with its rich history and enchanting beauty, continues to be a testament to the country's enduring allure. This coloured lantern slide, a fascinating piece of history, invites us to explore the charm of Bern and the Rosengarten, offering a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the timeless beauty that lies within Switzerland's landscapes.
