In 1918, a photographer stood at the summit terrace of Harder Kulm — the peak rising above Interlaken to 1,322 metres — and captured the panorama that has defined the visual identity of the Bernese Oberland ever since: the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau in their full alignment across the valley, the lake below reflecting the sky, the town of Interlaken reduced to a careful arrangement of rooftops at the water's edge.
The panoramic postcard format was then at the height of its commercial and artistic development — a medium that combined the documentary ambitions of photography with the compositional conventions of the Alpine landscape tradition. This restored image belongs to that moment: Swiss tourism and Swiss geography collaborating on a vision of the mountains that proved durable enough to still be recognisable a century later.
