Alpine Alps Crest Eiger Extends Jungfrau Mount Peak Ridge Slides Swiss Easternmost
EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide captures a breathtaking view of Grindelwald, Switzerland, in the late 1890s. The image showcases the majestic peaks of the Alps, with the iconic Eiger and Wetterhorn taking center stage. The Eiger, the easternmost peak of a ridge crest that extends across the Mönch to the Jungfrau, stands proudly against the clear blue sky. Its distinctive triangular shape and towering height make it a popular destination for mountaineers and tourists alike. The Wetterhorn, another prominent peak in the Bernese Alps, can be seen to the left of the Eiger. The snow-capped mountains, surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque villages, exude a sense of tranquility and beauty. This historical lantern slide, labeled as Swiss No.1, Box 181, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when the Alps were a source of inspiration and adventure for travelers. The late 19th century was a time when lantern slides were a popular form of entertainment and education. This particular slide, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, would have captivated audiences during lantern slide shows. The image, while a work of art in itself, also serves as a testament to the rich history and natural beauty of Switzerland.
