Few views on this board show a hotel set on its own island, and this one does. The Insel Hotel stands on a small island in the Rhine where it leaves Lake Constance, at Konstanz in the Grand Duchy of Baden. The building grew out of a medieval monastic complex, and its conversion into a hotel in the nineteenth century made it a favorite stop for travelers on the lake. This photochrom print, a color process that Detroit Publishing Company used widely for its German views, dates from the 1890s and shows the lakeside setting that drew visitors there.
