EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic event that unfolded in the heart of Switzerland. Two iconic Swiss hotels, the Hotel Edelweiss and the Grand Hotel des Alpes, were engulfed in flames at Murren on 19th November 1926. The image showcases the aftermath of this devastating fire, revealing a scene of destruction and loss. The Grand Hotel, standing tall amidst the charred remains, serves as a haunting reminder of its former grandeur. Its once elegant facade now bears scars from the intense blaze that ravaged through its walls. The surrounding landscape is shrouded in smoke and ash, creating an eerie atmosphere that echoes with sorrow. This monochrome photograph transports us back to Europe between the wars - a period marked by both progress and turmoil. It encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era characterized by resilience and rebuilding. Preserved by Central News, this historical snapshot offers us glimpses into our past while reminding us of the fragility of architectural marvels. As we gaze upon this image, we are compelled to reflect on how disasters can shape our collective memory and inspire future generations to rise above adversity
