EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the streets of Sibiu, formerly known as Hermannstadt, in Romania. Taken around 1900 by Wilhelm Auerlich, it captures a group of people finding respite on a bustling street. In the background, we catch sight of the impressive fortified towers that adorn the city walls. The architecture of these towers speaks volumes about their military and defensive purpose. They stand tall and proud, silently guarding the city against any potential threats. Their presence adds an air of grandeur to this quaint street scene. As we observe this snapshot from history, our attention is drawn not only to the structures but also to the people themselves. The individuals in this group are dressed in fashion typical for that era – long dresses for women and suits with top hats for men. It is fascinating how clothing can provide insight into a particular period's style and social norms. Children playfully interact with one another while adults engage in conversation or simply take a momentary break from their daily routines. This portrait captures both action and tranquility simultaneously; it encapsulates life unfolding amidst architectural marvels. Beyond just showcasing human activity, this photograph offers us glimpses into the surrounding landscape as well. We see a road stretching out before us, leading towards distant horizons filled with natural beauty characteristic of Romania's countryside. Auerlich's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this historical moment frozen in time—a testament to his talent as a photographer capturing everyday scenes that continue to intrigue viewers over a century later.
