Lauterbrunnen mit Staubbach – Antique Swiss Wood Engraving, c. 1895

“Lauterbrunnen mit Staubbach” is an original antique wood engraving depicting the spectacular Lauterbrunnen Valley in Switzerland, with the famous Staubbach Falls cascading from the cliffs above the valley.

Lauterbrunnen is located in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Bern. The valley is renowned for its dramatic limestone cliffs, alpine meadows, mountain villages, and numerous waterfalls. Staubbach Falls, one of Switzerland's best-known waterfalls, plunges approximately 297 meters (975 feet) from the cliffs above Lauterbrunnen and has long been a celebrated subject for artists, travelers, and landscape illustrators.

The German title “Lauterbrunnen mit Staubbach” translates approximately as “Lauterbrunnen with Staubbach.” The view captures the picturesque character that made the Lauterbrunnen Valley an important destination for 19th-century travelers and one of the iconic landscapes of the Swiss Alps.

This fine 19th-century Swiss landscape engraving was published circa 1895. The large format provides a detailed view of the dramatic Alpine scenery.
