EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cityscape, High Angle View" takes us back to the early 20th century. Captured around 1910 from the dome of Portland City Hall in Maine, this image offers a unique perspective looking south over the city. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of a bustling urban landscape with remarkable clarity. The high angle view allows us to appreciate the intricate details of Portland's architecture and layout during that time. From towering buildings to busy streets below, every element is meticulously portrayed in black and white tones, adding a sense of nostalgia and timelessness. In the background lies the serene Fore River, providing a striking contrast against the vibrant cityscape. Its calm waters reflect both light and shadows, enhancing the overall composition's visual appeal. What makes this photograph even more intriguing is its absence of people. This creates an atmosphere where one can imagine themselves standing atop City Hall's dome alone, observing life unfold beneath them. Preserved by Archive Photos at Fine Art Storehouse, this extraordinary piece invites viewers to step into history and experience Portland as it once was—a thriving metropolis filled with dreams and aspirations captured through an artist's lens.
