EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the grandeur of the Eternit Asbestos-Cement Roofing Material Factory in Barranquilla, Colombia during the 1940s. Standing proudly on the riverbank, this magnificent white building showcases South American architecture at its finest. The factory's location by the river not only provided easy access for transportation but also added to its picturesque charm. The century-old structure exudes a sense of history and importance, symbolizing Colombia's industrial growth during that era. Its facade is beautifully captured in this lithograph, showcasing intricate details and craftsmanship that make it stand out among other buildings of its time. The use of asbestos-cement roofing material was prevalent back then, reflecting the technological advancements and materials used in construction during the mid-20th century. However, it is important to note that asbestos has since been recognized as a health hazard. This postcard-like image takes us back to a bygone era when communication relied heavily on postal services. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of architectural development and safety standards. Photographed by Raul de la Espriella B. , this print from Heritage Images preserves an important piece of Barranquilla's history while highlighting its geographical features and cultural significance.
