EDITORS COMMENTS
"This coloured lantern slide depicts the breathtaking view from the Schilthorn summit in Switzerland, a mountain of the Bernese Alps towering at an impressive 2,970 meters (9,744 feet) above the valley of Lauterbrunnen in the canton of Bern. The Schilthorn is the highest peak in the range north of the Sefinenfurgge and offers a panoramic perspective that stretches from the Titlis and Jungfrau mountains, past the Matterhorn, and encompasses the Jura mountains, Vosges Mountains, and the Black Forest. Mont Blanc can also be seen in the distance. The village of Murren lies below, with a cable car connecting it to the summit. This stunning view, captured in the late 1890s, is a testament to the beauty and grandeur of the Swiss Alps during the late 19th century."
