Title:
Steamboat Landing and Ox Cart, Lucerne, Switzerland, Photographer unknown, circa 1900
Description:
Original stereoview showing a bustling riverside scene in Lucerne, Switzerland. In the foreground, an ox-drawn cart stands near the dock, while elegantly dressed figures with parasols and hats stroll toward the covered steamboat landing marked “Alpnach.” The background reveals the distinctive skyline of Lucerne, with clock towers, church spires, and 19th-century buildings lining the waterfront. The image vividly captures the intersection of rural and urban life and the importance of steam transport in the Swiss lakes region.
