EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Nighttime Journey through Fribourg, Switzerland: The Enchanting Sight of Lower Town Fountain" 2. Description: This coloured lantern slide presents a nocturnal view of Fribourg, the capital city of the Swiss canton of Fribourg and the district of Sarine. Situated on both sides of the river Saane/Sarine, in the heart of the Swiss plateau, Fribourg is an essential economic, administrative, and educational center straddling the cultural border between German and French Switzerland (Romandy). 3. In the foreground of the image, the Fountain de la Fidélité (Fountain of Loyalty) takes center stage. The fountain features a statue, standing proudly with a flag, symbolizing the loyalty and commitment of the city's inhabitants. The statue, bathed in the soft glow of the night, adds an ethereal touch to the scene. 4. Fribourg's historical charm is evident in this late 19th-century photograph. The city's rich history is reflected in its architectural wonders, which blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The Alps, though not directly visible in this image, loom in the background, serving as a constant reminder of Switzerland's iconic mountainous terrain. 5. This lantern slide, number 45 of Box 181, entitled "Swiss No.1," offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1890s and inviting us to explore the enchanting world of Fribourg under the cover of night. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the image make it a must-see for anyone interested in Swiss history and culture.
