Île Rousseau te Genève 1889 - 1900

This photochrom print, titled "Île Rousseau te Genève," depicts a scenic view of the Île Rousseau in Geneva, Switzerland. Created sometime between 1889 and 1900 by an unknown artist, the image showcases the island's lush greenery, the adjacent bridge, and the cityscape beyond. The photochrom process, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, uses a combination of photography and lithography to create vivid, almost painterly color, capturing the charm of this popular tourist destination. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a vibrant snapshot of Geneva as it appeared in the late 19th century.
