Step back in time with this image of a sailing barge gliding gracefully along the shores of Lake Geneva near Montreux, Switzerland, in the late 1880s. The vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of simple pleasures and natural beauty. The sailing barge, a common sight on the lake during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, cuts through the water with ease, its sails billowing in the wind. The boat's elegant lines and timeless design are a testament to the ingenuity and skill of the boatbuilders of the time. The barge's lantern, perched atop the mast, casts a warm, inviting glow, adding to the romantic allure of the scene. The tranquil waters of Lake Geneva reflect the surrounding landscape, with the snow-capped Alps in the distance and the picturesque town of Montreux nestled at the foot of the mountains. The image is a stunning example of the beauty and charm of Switzerland during the late 19th century. The photograph, taken with a lantern slide, captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a time long past. Whether you're an history buff, a lover of vintage photography, or simply someone who appreciates the simple pleasures of the past, this image of a sailing barge near Montreux, Switzerland, in the 1880s is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to another time and place.
