Tell's Chapel on Lake Lucerne, Switzerland, wood engraving, published 1876 - stock illustration
Historical view of Tell's Chapel on Lake Lucerne, Uri Canton, Switzerland. The Catholic chapel marks the site of the Tellensprung ("leap of Tell") where, according to legend, William Tell leapt from the boat of his captors during a storm and escaped, allowing him to assassinate the tyrant Gessler and initiate the rebellion that led to the foundation of the Old Swiss Confederacy. The Tellenplatte is first mentioned in 1470 in the White Book of Sarnen, as Tellen blatten. The current chapel was built in 1879. Wood engraving, published in 1876.
