EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide captures a breathtaking view of Lake Thun in Switzerland, located in the Bernese Oberland region. The image, titled "Swiss No.1," dates back to the late 1890s and offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural beauty of this Alpine lake. Lake Thun, named after the city of Thun on its northern shore, is nestled among the majestic Alps and is one of the largest lakes in Switzerland. The clear waters reflect the surrounding mountains, creating a stunning mirror-like effect. The city of Thun, with its medieval castle and colorful houses, can be seen in the distance on the northern shore. The use of color in this lantern slide adds a unique and captivating element to the image, making it stand out from traditional photographs of the time. The late 19th century was a period of great innovation in photography, and the ability to capture and reproduce color was a significant advancement. This lantern slide is a testament to the rich history and natural beauty of Switzerland, providing a window into the past and offering a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role that photography plays in documenting the world around us.
