Giorgio Sommer's "Gezicht op Göschenen met de Gotthardbahn," a picturesque albumen print from the 1880s, captures the scenic beauty of the Swiss Alps. The photograph depicts a picturesque view of the village of Göschenen, nestled within the imposing mountains. The Gotthardbahn, a historic railway line, snakes through the valley, its tracks a testament to human ingenuity in navigating the challenging terrain. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the 19th century Swiss landscape and the impact of technological advancements on the region.
