EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1856 in Sacramento, California. The image showcases Fort Vigilant, an impressive edifice that stands tall with its robust architecture and fortified walls. Positioned strategically on a street corner, this fortification served as a symbol of protection during times of war. The photograph captures not only the grandeur of the building but also provides glimpses into daily life in 19th century California. People can be seen going about their business on the bustling road below, adding a touch of liveliness to the scene. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this snapshot from history. It transports viewers to a bygone era when America was still young and full of promise. The print is part of "Old California, In Pictures and Story" a publication by Stewart Edward White that beautifully depicts various aspects of Californian life. Through this image, we are reminded of the rich heritage and architectural marvels that have shaped our country's past. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and modernization, it is important to cherish our historical roots. This remarkable piece by Britton & Rey offers us an opportunity to reflect upon how far we have come while appreciating the beauty found within these timeless photographs.
