EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of the Rack-and-pinion railway on Gorner Ridge in Switzerland's majestic Alps. Taken in the early 20th century, this image is part of Liebig collectible card series titled 'Ferrovie di Montagna' ('Mountain Railways'). The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased through chromolithography bring to life the alpine scenery surrounding this remarkable engineering feat. The photograph showcases a Swiss mountain train traversing through tunnels and winding its way up the Gornergrat, providing an awe-inspiring view of the mountainscape. The cog railway system employed by this train allows it to navigate steep inclines with ease, making it both a marvel of engineering and an essential mode of public transport for locals and tourists alike. As we gaze upon this historical lithograph, we are transported back to a time when travel was more adventurous and railways were at their peak. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in conquering nature's obstacles. Beyond its technical aspects, this print also offers us glimpses into social history. It reminds us of how transportation systems have evolved over time while highlighting the importance of railways in connecting communities across Europe during the turn of the century. With every detail meticulously captured within this artwork, from the stunning mountain vistas to each stroke depicting trains and tunnels, we are reminded once again that art has always been intertwined with our desire for exploration and discovery. This Bridgeman Images print invites us to embark on a visual journey through time, immersing ourselves in an era where steam engines ruled supreme amidst Switzerland's picturesque landscapes.
