EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide depicts the iconic Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, dating back to the late 1890s. The Bridge of Sighs, a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Venice's rich history, is shown adorned with intricate architectural details and bathed in a warm, inviting glow. The bridge connects the Doge's Palace to the prison cells, earning its name from the sighs of prisoners as they caught their last glimpse of Venice and the beautiful lagoon before being taken to their cells. In the foreground, the tranquil waters of the Rio di Palazzo reflect the vibrant hues of the bridge, while gondolas glide gracefully along the canal, adding to the romantic and enchanting atmosphere of this iconic Italian city. The intricate details of the gondolas, from their ornate wooden frames to the striped awnings, are beautifully captured in this coloured lantern slide. This slide is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 214, Italy Coloured, and is a testament to the enduring allure of Venice and its landmarks. The late 19th century was a time of great artistic and cultural exploration, and this slide offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of wonder and discovery. The Bridge of Sighs remains an enduring symbol of Venice's rich history and continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
