William Tell chapel in Fluelen, Switzerland

William Tell chapel is an emblematic place in Switzerland, located between Sisikon and Flüelen, on the shore of Lake Lucerne, in the canton of Uri. According to legend, it was at this spot, known as the Tellsplatte, that William Tell jumped from the bailiff Gessler's boat to escape him.

The chapel has become a symbol of Switzerland's founding myth and a place of pilgrimage for those interested in Swiss history and legend.

The Ferrier et Soulier company was founded by Claude-Marie FERRIER (1811-1889)and Charles SOULIER (1816-1886) in 1859. It specialized in the production of stereoscopic views.

Soulier's plates depicted a variety of subjects, including landscapes, monuments, urban scenes and historical events.

Stereoscopic glass plates were considered high-quality products and aesthetically superior to paper stereoscopies. They were heavier and more fragile, but offered better image quality and a more immersive visual experience

The works of Ferrier and Soulier are today considered collector's items.
