EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Glarus, Switzerland, captured around the turn of the 20th century. The serene landscape is dominated by the majestic Vorder Glarnisch mountain, a towering peak in the Schwyzer Alps that overshadows the quaint town below. The Alp, with its snow-capped summit and rugged alpine range, stands as a testament to the raw beauty and power of nature. Nestled at the foot of the mountain, the picturesque town of Glarus unfolds, revealing a charming blend of old-world architecture and natural splendor. The Post Office building, with its red-tiled roof and ornate facade, serves as a striking contrast to the modern, functional design of the Cantons Hospital (Kantonsspital) nearby. The Stadtkirche, or town church, adds a touch of spirituality to the scene, its steeple reaching towards the heavens. The Linth Valley, a fertile expanse of farmland and meadows, stretches out before the town, providing a vital source of sustenance for the community. The tranquil waters of the Linth River meander through the valley, adding a sense of calm and serenity to the scene. This photograph, taken around 1902, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished. The Vorder Glarnisch mountain, with its imposing presence, serves as a reminder of the enduring power and beauty of the natural world.
