EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of Ponte Cestius in Rome before the construction of the embankments. The image takes us back to the late 19th century, around 1870-1875, when this iconic bridge stood proudly amidst a bustling Trastevere district. On the left side of the photograph, we can see workers perched on the roof of a building, fully engrossed in their demolition tasks. Their presence adds a sense of human activity and progress to an otherwise serene scene. Underneath the bridge, stretching into the distance, lies Janiculum Hill - its silhouette providing a picturesque backdrop against which this historical moment unfolds. The composition is rich with elements that depict various aspects of life during that time period. The bridge itself stands as both a functional structure for transportation and an architectural marvel worth admiring. A boatman can be seen navigating his small vessel along the river below, highlighting one mode of transportation commonly used at that time. The landscape surrounding Ponte Cestius showcases not only natural beauty but also hints at urban development with buildings dotting both sides of the riverbank. This juxtaposition between nature and civilization creates an intriguing contrast within this snapshot frozen in time. Captured by Roesler Franz Ettore from Alinari, this print offers viewers a glimpse into history - it allows us to appreciate how much has changed over decades while reminding us that certain landmarks like Ponte Cestius have stood resiliently throughout centuries. It serves as both an artistic representation and documentation of Rome's past for all who admire its charm and allure today.
