Taminakloof before 1894

This black and white photograph titled "Taminakloof" by Giorgio Sommer, was taken before 1894 and shows a narrow passage between two sheer rock faces in Switzerland. The image, currently in the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the dramatic landscape of the Taminaschlucht (Taminakloof) gorge and the wooden walkway, which runs along the edge of the steep drop. Sommer's photography, famous for its picturesque depiction of landscapes, highlights the natural beauty of Switzerland. The image showcases the technical skill of the photographer in capturing the depth and texture of the rocky terrain.
