Image description

Portrait of the builders of the Gotthard railway tunnel, Louis Favre and Alfred Escher, after an engraving. Louis Favre (1826-1879) was the leading contractor in the construction of the Gotthard railway tunnel, then the longest railway tunnel in the world, and its completion was a technical masterpiece. Alfred Escher - banker, national councillor, president of the canton of Zurich and millionaire - was probably the most powerful and influential Swiss personality of his time and a vehemently supporter of a tunnel through the Gotthard.
