EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the history of Italy and Switzerland during the French Revolutionary Wars. Titled "Passage of the Linth: The French Cross the Linth River, in Switzerland, Where They Have No Right to Be," the photograph depicts a group of French soldiers wading through the icy waters of the Linth River in Switzerland in the year 1799. The Linth River marked the border between the Swiss cantons and the French Republic, and the French army, under the command of General Brune, had invaded Swiss territory with the intention of expanding their revolutionary influence. The Swiss, determined to defend their sovereignty, put up a fierce resistance, and the crossing of the Linth River became a significant event in the Swiss War of 1798-1803. Despite the freezing temperatures and the strong currents, the French soldiers pressed on, determined to reach the other side and continue their advance. The Swiss militia, positioned on the banks, watched with grim determination as the enemy crossed their border. The outcome of this battle would have far-reaching consequences for both Italy and Switzerland, as the French were ultimately successful in their invasion and the Swiss cantons were forced to cede territory and pay tribute to the French Republic. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical events that shaped the modern-day political landscape of Europe. The image captures the tension and uncertainty of war, as well as the bravery and determination of the soldiers on both sides. The Passage of the Linth remains an important chapter in the history of Italy and Switzerland, and this photograph offers a unique and compelling glimpse into the past.
