EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 19th-century print, published in l'Univers Illustre in 1863, captures the historic moment of the inauguration of the Mouchard railroad line in Switzerland. The crowd of bourgeois gentlemen and ladies, dressed in the height of contemporary fashion, gather around the newly-arrived train, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity. The train, a marvel of the age, stands proudly at the station, its steam billowing into the crisp mountain air. The inauguration of the Mouchard railroad line marked a significant milestone in the development of Switzerland's transportation infrastructure. The railroad, a testament to the country's industrial prowess, would revolutionize the way people traveled and connect communities across vast distances. The guests of honor, seated at a long table adorned with fine china and crystal, enjoy a lavish lunch, savoring the momentous occasion. The Swiss windows, with their intricate designs, offer a glimpse into the elegance and refinement of the era. The print, skillfully engraved and colored, transports us back to a time when the inauguration of a railroad was a cause for celebration and when the future seemed limitless. This image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Switzerland during the 19th century.
