EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Viaduct on the Rigi Railway during the Victorian period. The intricately designed viaduct, a marvel of engineering, stretches out before us, its arches supporting the railway that once connected the shores of Lake Lucerne to the summit of Mount Rigi in Switzerland. The Victorian era, marked by its opulence and elegance, is beautifully encapsulated in this photograph. The train, a symbol of progress and modernity, winds its way through the picturesque Swiss landscape, leaving a trail of steam in its wake. The lantern slide, a popular form of entertainment during this time, adds to the vintage charm of the image. The Rigi Railway, opened in 1875, was a major tourist attraction during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The early bahn offered breathtaking views of the Alps and the lake, drawing visitors from all over Europe. The railway's summit station, located at the top of Mount Rigi, was a popular destination for honeymooners and those seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to an era of elegance and wonder. The intricate details of the viaduct, the steam train, and the picturesque Swiss landscape come alive in this beautiful image, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era.
