EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque port town of Aalesund in 1914. The creator of this stunning image remains unknown, but their lens captured the essence of this coastal community on the west coast of Norway. Aalesund, known for its art nouveau architecture, had risen from the ashes after a devastating fire in 1904 that led to most of the town being rebuilt. The aerial view showcases the architectural beauty that defines Aalesund, with its charming buildings dotting the landscape against a backdrop of fjords and an archipelago. This historic town holds a significant place in Norwegian literature and is featured in "Norge - Turistruter I 65 Billeder" a book published by Mittet & Co Kunstforlag in Kristania (now Oslo) in 1914. As we gaze upon this monochrome vista, we are transported to a time when trade thrived through this bustling port. The elevated view allows us to appreciate not only the scenic beauty but also how seamlessly Aalesund blends into its natural surroundings. This vintage print serves as both a testament to human resilience and an invitation for travel enthusiasts seeking unique tourist attractions. It captures not just a moment frozen in time but also embodies the spirit of exploration and appreciation for architectural wonders that have stood strong throughout history.
