EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Clock Tower, in Bern, enclosed among porticos and buildings" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases the architectural marvel that is the Clock Tower in Bern, Switzerland. Standing tall amidst a bustling street scene, this iconic structure is surrounded by elegant porticos and other impressive buildings. Dating back to 1191 with subsequent renovations in 1771, this magnificent tower has witnessed centuries of history unfold before its timeless face. It serves as both a symbol of commerce and trade for the city of Bern and an instrument necessary for time measurement. Its prominent position makes it an ideal spot for publicity and communication. As we gaze at this photograph captured by Giorgio Sommer between 1880-1890, our eyes are drawn to every intricate detail within the frame. From the ornate doorways to the decorative elements adorning each section of these historic structures - every aspect speaks volumes about Swiss architecture during that era. The clock itself stands out prominently against its surroundings – a testament to its importance as an instrument for measuring time accurately. Street lamps illuminate the scene while windows offer glimpses into daily life within these grand buildings. Giorgio Sommer's masterful composition transports us back in time; we can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages passing by as people go about their daily routines on these vibrant streets. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to appreciate the beauty found within urban landscapes – where history intertwines with modernity seamlessly.
