The Opening of the Alps - A Historic Moment Captured in Time

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage engraving transports us back to August 18,1871, when a monumental event took place at the Mont-Genis entrance tunnel between France and Italy. The image showcases the historic moment when the last stone was placed, marking the completion of this remarkable feat of engineering. In this photograph, we witness a significant milestone in history as workers gather around to witness the final touch being added to this magnificent tunnel. The dedication and hard work put into constructing this passage through the majestic Alps is evident on their faces. The tunnel itself represents more than just a physical connection between two countries; it symbolizes progress, unity, and innovation. It opened up new possibilities for transportation and trade between France and Italy, forever changing their relationship. Preserved within a private collection by Santiago Ortega, this print serves as a reminder of our ancestors' determination to conquer nature's obstacles. As trains pass through effortlessly today, we owe gratitude to those who labored tirelessly over decades to create such an extraordinary pathway. Let us marvel at this historical artifact that captures not only an architectural triumph but also embodies human ambition and collaboration across borders. This engraving stands as a testament to mankind's ability to overcome challenges while leaving an indelible mark on history.
