EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of engineering - the completion of the St Gotthard Tunnel beneath the Alps in 1880. This remarkable feat connected Italy and Switzerland by rail, revolutionizing transportation between these two countries. In this image, we see a group of Italian and Swiss workmen gathered together to celebrate their achievement. These laborers, representing both nations, had tirelessly tunneled through 9 1/4 miles of rock to create this monumental passageway. On February 29th, they broke through the last piece of rock and met at the center point to mark the completion. The atmosphere is one of jubilation as these men proudly pose for this photograph. Their accomplishment symbolizes not only their hard work but also represents progress, unity, and collaboration between Italy and Switzerland. The wood engraving technique used to produce this print adds a sense of nostalgia to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. The monochrome palette further enhances its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of how human ingenuity can overcome even nature's most formidable obstacles. The St Gotthard Tunnel stands as a testament to mankind's ability to conquer challenges with determination and skill.
