Step back in time with this photograph of Leysin, a picturesque village nestled in the heart of the Swiss Canton of Vaud. Dating back to the late 19th century, this coloured print showcases the quaint charm of this mountain resort town, which has long been a popular destination for tourists and health seekers. The image features several elegant hotels, including the Grand Hôtel and the Hôtel du Parc, which can be seen prominently in the foreground. Their red-roofed facades, adorned with intricate woodwork and balconies, exude an air of nostalgia and elegance. The snow-capped Alps loom in the background, adding to the breathtaking beauty of the scene. Leysin, located in the Nand area, was a popular health resort during the 19th century due to its mild climate and mineral-rich waters. The town's natural hot springs and stunning views of the Alps drew visitors from all over Europe, making it a hub of activity and prosperity. This photograph, which is part of a series of photochrom prints produced by the Scottish firm of David & Charles Co. Ltd., offers a glimpse into the history of Leysin and the Canton of Vaud during a bygone era. The use of the photochrom process, which involved hand-colouring photographs, adds to the nostalgic and picturesque quality of the image, making it a treasured piece of historical record and a delight for anyone with an appreciation for the beauty of Switzerland's past.
