Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ten Days in Switzerland A Strong desire (August 26, 1870) to push on and have as much time as possible among the mountains of Switzerland led us to take a through train from Freiburg, Germany, to Lucerne, stopping in Basle only long enough to make connections. Having an hour to wait, we drove from the station, over the Rhine, to the old part of the town, and had time for a glimpse at the Cathedral and the Museum. The Museum contains some very noted paintings: among them an original likeness of Erasmus, by Holbein; one of Luther, by Cranach; and also a picture of marvelous power - "Christ ready for the Tomb" - by Holbein. The view of the city from the bridge, looking either way, but especially toward the west, is very satisfactory, giving an effect more peculiar than that of any other city we had yet seen. After some delay, our train started for Lucerne. Coming to the scene of the detention, we found two "goods" trains had collided at Bretten, and rendered the track impassable. Locomotives and cars were pitched together in awful confusion. As it is human nature to take a little comfort at other people´s misfortunes, we felt a glum satisfaction that America wasn´t the only country of railroad accidents.
