Switzerland: ‘Winter in Switzerland’

Winter Wonderland: a composition characteristic of the theme of a European winter wonderland (the Alps comprise roughly the southern half of Switzerland) and illustrating to lasting effect the infinite appeal and recreational joys of the Alpine landscape. Historically, the Alps were lauded by Continental bon vivants as a select destination. In the Edwardian era of travel, ‘the world of yesterday’, the aristocracy reigned in a way that would be inconceivable today. The Jazz Age followed and, between the wars, the rich were still rich, still took to the slopes by day, and still partied by night. Reassuringly familiar?
