EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Rheinfelden, taken in 1872 by E I Roberts, transports us back to a charming Swiss town steeped in history. The image showcases the picturesque view of Rheinfelden with its iconic covered bridge stretching over the glistening waters of the High Rhine. Standing proudly amidst the quaint buildings is the parish church, exuding an aura of religious significance. The photograph was featured in Captain H M Hozier's renowned book "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences" adding historical context to this mesmerizing scene. As we gaze upon this 19th-century engraving expertly captured by William Mackenzie, we are reminded of Switzerland's geographical beauty and rich Christian heritage. Intriguingly, a group of anglers can be spotted along the riverbank indulging in their favorite pastime - fishing on the River Rhine. This adds a touch of liveliness to an otherwise serene landscape. Meticulously detailed and rendered in black and white tones, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone. It serves as a testament to both Roberts' skillful eye for composition and Mackenzie's dedication to preserving historical moments through his prints. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection curated by Myles Birket Foster, it allows us to appreciate not only Rheinfelden's architectural splendor but also its cultural significance within Switzerland's diverse tapestry.
