EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the awe-inspiring beauty of The Rigi Railway in Switzerland. The image showcases the uppermost bridge of this remarkable railway, known for its steep incline and breathtaking topography. The scene is filled with a sense of adventure and wonder as we witness a mountain locomotive making its way across the bridge towards its terminus in Vitznau. The railway's engineering marvels are on full display, from tunnels carved into rocky mountainsides to intricate wooden and stone bridges that span over Schnurtobel. As we gaze at this print, our eyes are drawn to each detail - every pedestrian bridge and suspension bridge adds to the charm of this Swiss landscape. We can almost imagine ourselves standing amidst these structures, taking in the fresh alpine air while marvelling at their ingenuity. The presence of a Swissman in traditional attire reminds us of Europe's rich cultural heritage. This engraving serves as a testament not only to Switzerland's natural wonders but also to European craftsmanship and innovation. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this historical artwork from their private collection. It allows us an intimate glimpse into an era when railways were transforming travel experiences around the world. Let this enchanting print transport you back in time as you explore one of Switzerland's most iconic landmarks - The Rigi Railway.
