Lausanne | Panorama Map | Vintage Print

"Panorama du Signal" from 1926 is a charming historical city map of Lausanne that connects the popular Signal de Sauvabelin viewpoint with a panorama of the surrounding Lake Geneva and the Alpine range. The sheet combines two types of maps in one work: in the upper section, a drawn 360-degree panoramic view unfolds with over seventy numbered mountain peaks—from the Savoy Alps to Mont Blanc—framed by two allegorical figures and coats of arms with the inscription "Liberté et Patrie." Below this, a detailed, colorful city map of Lausanne spreads out, showing the city's characteristic topography with its hills, parks, the Bois de Sauvabelin, and the promenade along Lac Léman. Streets, neighborhoods such as Ouchy, Montriond, Bellerive, and La Sallaz, as well as numerous public buildings are highlighted. This panorama is a delightful testament to cartography and the touristic self-confidence of the Vaudois metropolis in the 1920s.
A charming collector's item for lovers of Swiss history, cartography enthusiasts, and anyone with a connection to Lausanne and Lake Geneva. Ideal as a reproduction for living or workspaces with a link to Western Switzerland.
