EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, showcasing one of the Swiss entrances to the monumental Saint Gotthard Tunnel during its construction from 1872-1880. The wood engraving, sourced from a contemporary English newspaper, beautifully captures the essence of this engineering marvel nestled within the majestic Swiss Alps. In this image, we see a group of dedicated workers laboring tirelessly amidst rugged mountain terrain. Their determination is palpable as they carve through solid rock, creating a pathway for progress and connectivity. The entrance to the tunnel stands tall and proud, symbolizing human ingenuity and triumph over nature's challenges. The presence of a train on the railroad track adds an element of movement and excitement to this scene. It serves as a reminder that this ambitious project was not only about conquering mountains but also about revolutionizing transportation. As passenger travel became more accessible with these tunnels, it opened up new possibilities for exploration and trade across Switzerland. Through this historic snapshot captured by The Granger Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the immense effort put forth by countless individuals who made Saint Gotthard Tunnel a reality. This print serves as both a testament to their hard work and an homage to human achievement in engineering excellence.
