EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Steamer in Lake Thun, Switzerland, c. 1860" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by Adolphe Braun, a renowned French photographer of the 19th century, this albumen print showcases his mastery in capturing landscapes and transportation. The image transports us to the serene Lake Thun in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. Against the backdrop of majestic mountains and picturesque houses lining the shore, a magnificent steamship glides through calm waters. The steamer's elegant design reflects both its functionality as a mode of transport and its aesthetic appeal. Braun's attention to detail is evident in this photograph; each element is meticulously composed to create a harmonious scene. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the image while emphasizing the beauty of Lake Thun's natural surroundings. As we gaze at this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of an era when steamships were at their peak as symbols of progress and innovation. This artwork not only serves as a visual testament to Braun's artistic skill but also offers us a glimpse into Switzerland's rich cultural heritage. Displayed proudly within Art Institute Chicago’s collection, this albumen silver print stands as an enduring reminder of Adolphe Braun’s contribution to photography and his ability to capture moments that transcend time itself.
