EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Zuger Berg- und Straßenbahn" and created by Walther Koch around 1910, transports us back in time to an era of leisure, physical activity, and the burgeoning rail transport system in Switzerland. The color lithograph showcases a bustling rail station, where steam locomotives and their accompanying trains are a common sight. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as travelers prepare for their journeys, while athletes, dressed in their winter gear, eagerly await their turn to board the train for a day of skiing in the mountains. The power and might of the steam engine are on full display, as it stands proudly at the platform, ready to depart. The contrast between the raw power of the machine and the graceful forms of the skiers adds to the visual appeal of the print. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition of the poster serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of Walther Koch, who expertly captured the essence of the moment. This image not only represents the importance of rail transport in facilitating travel and communication during this period, but also the growing popularity of winter sports and the role they played in promoting health and well-being. The combination of these elements makes this print a fascinating glimpse into the history of rail transport, technology, and leisure activities in Switzerland during the early 20th century.
