The image dates back to the 1910s and provides a glimpse into the traditional way of milling in the Valais region. In the photograph, the directed water jet has been temporarily diverted away from the wheel as the mill is taken out of operation. This momentary pause in activity allows for a closer look at the intricate details of this Swiss landmark.
