There is a building in the background behind the trees. Could be the Swiss Chalets like some of the other pictures.

I think the mountain in the right background here is the same one that appears beyond the Frauenkirch in the previous image in the mystery pictures set. As that picture is reversed, this one must be reversed too, and as that lithograph shows the church from the north, this must also be a view toward the south, taken some distance south of the church. The print numbers suggest that four views between this one (1016) and the other four (1021 through 1024) Grisons scenes might be missing from the set.

This book might offer additional clues:


(One of the authors, Bruno Weber, was the director of the graphical collection of the Central Library in Zürich who re-discovered the full set of photochroms donated by Photoglob Zürich in the stacks of the library in 1975.)

Simply beautiful~

The pair of shoes the standingboy is wearing seems to be for girls. Must be unisex druing those days.

Wonderful picture. Any clues as to date? I'd say very early 1900s, but not really clear

Looks like the same leather summer sandals which we wore in the UK in the 1950's. You can just see the single metal buckle fastening on the outer side. Apparently this "T-bar" shape gradually became girls-only in the 1970's - while boys favoured the later enclosed shape more like a shoe.

That is so cute!

See: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/3251833363/in/pho... for more information. I think it is about 1895 in Melbourne, and this is Louis Frederick (b1890) and Alexander (b.1893) McCubbin, the sons of Frederick McCubbin, famous Australian artist. @ richard halliday (see note above) - Louis went on to become the Director of the Art Gallery in South Australia. Another brother Hugh (the baby in the other picture, b.1894) was wounded at Gallipoli in 1915. And, by the way, I too had red leather sandals like those in the early 1960s in England, made by Clarks. I hated them then - they did feel 'girly' - yuk!
