The Lion of Lucerne Switzerland Stereoview Griffith & Griffith 1905

This antique stereoview card features a sepia-toned image titled "The Lion of Lucerne, Switzerland." It is part of the Switzerland Set and was produced by Griffith & Griffith in 1905. The view number is 8085 (86), and the card depicts the famous Lion of Lucerne monument, a poignant sculpture carved into a rocky cliff face in the outskirts of Lucerne. The card includes detailed text describing the historical significance of the monument, commemorating the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution in 1792.

The stereoview is mounted on cardboard with rounded top corners framing the twin images. The card includes the publisher's information printed on the mount: Sold only by Griffith & Griffith, with locations in Philadelphia, Chicago, London, Hamburg, Genoa, St. Petersburg, Russia. This piece is a classic example of early 20th century stereoview photography, offering a 3D view of a prominent European historical and cultural landmark. It would be a valuable addition for collectors interested in vintage stereographs, European history, or Victorian-era 3D imagery.
