EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, entitled "View of Habsburg Castle," transports us back in time to the medieval fortress nestled in the picturesque village of Habsburg, Switzerland, during the 1800s. The imposing Habsburg Castle, with its towering turrets and fortified walls, stands proudly atop a hill, overlooking the quaint village below. The castle, a symbol of power and protection, was once an essential stop for travellers making their way through the Pennine Alps. In the foreground of the image, we see the Great St. Bernard Hospice and Hostel, a vital rest stop for weary travellers. The hospice, run by the monks of the Great St. Bernard Abbey, provided shelter, food, and medical care to those making the treacherous journey through the Alps. The monks were also renowned for their Saint Bernard dogs, large and powerful breeds bred for their strength and ability to find lost travellers in the snow. The illustration is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1837. The meticulously detailed engraving showcases the historical fashion and everyday life of the people during that era. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a unique perspective of medieval Switzerland and the important role of the Habsburg Castle and the Great St. Bernard Hospice in the lives of travellers during the 1800s.
