EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "View of Ghent" transports us back in time to the bustling streets of this historic Belgian city. The print, created by Francois Joseph Dupressoir in the 19th century, captures the essence of daily life in Ghent with remarkable detail. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly St. Bavo Cathedral, its towering spires reaching towards the heavens. Surrounding it are rows upon rows of charming houses with distinctive gables, showcasing the unique architecture that defines Ghent's cityscape. A river winds its way through the heart of Ghent, lined with busy wharves where boats come and go. This scene gives us a glimpse into the vibrant trade and commerce that once thrived here at Bassin du Commerce. As we observe this snapshot from history, we can't help but imagine what life was like for those who walked these very streets centuries ago. The lithograph beautifully captures both grandeur and simplicity - a testament to Dupressoir's artistic skill. Now preserved within the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print serves as a window into an era long gone by. It reminds us of our connection to history and invites us to appreciate not only Ghent's architectural beauty but also its rich cultural heritage.
