Nidwalden, the picturesque Canton in Switzerland, steeped in history and natural beauty. A young girl from Unterwalden, dressed in floral hats and ribbons, embodies the region's charm in a 19th-century chromolitho. The Pact of Grutli, signed on 1 August 1291, marked the beginning of the Swiss Confederacy, with Nidwalden as one of its founding members. The landscape surrounding Hergiswil and the majestic Stanserhorn Mountain add to the canton's allure. In 1798, Swiss educational reformer Johann Pestalozzi worked with the orphans of Nidwalden, as depicted in this engraving. Nidwalden's rich history spans from the Helvetian Republic to Pestalozzi's innovative schools, making it a captivating destination for history and nature enthusiasts alike.
