Souvenirs: Reflecting on Mementos

Description

Travel souvenirs are among the oldest mass-produced items. Apparently, people have always had the need to document their stays in foreign places with proof and keepsakes. In Switzerland, alongside the emerging tourism industry in the second half of the 19th century, a genuine souvenir industry developed. From the beginning, the quality of these souvenirs has been criticized. The number of participants is limited – online reservations take precedence.
