EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-010792-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Lucern, Switzerland. The focal point of this image is the majestic Kapellturm, also known as the Wasserturm or Water Tower, standing proudly on the banks of the picturesque river Reuss. Dating back to 1350, this octagonal tower exudes a sense of history and grandeur. Its fortified structure hints at its military and defensive past while serving as a testament to civil engineering marvels from centuries ago. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but admire its architectural beauty against the backdrop of Gtsch hill. The photograph itself was captured between 1890 and 1910 by P. Z. , an artist associated with Photoglob & Co. Their expertise shines through in their ability to perfectly frame not only the tower but also include elements that showcase Lucern's transportation infrastructure. A bridge gracefully spans across the river Reuss while boats dotting its surface hint at naval activity. Beyond these man-made structures lies a breathtaking landscape formed by meandering river courses that add depth and character to this scenic view of Lucern. It's almost as if time has stood still since this artwork was created over a century ago. As we immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing scene, let us appreciate both nature's beauty and human ingenuity preserved within this historical masterpiece from Alinari.
