EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany around 1872, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the past. Captured by A Willmore and featured in Captain H M Hozier's book "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences", this image showcases a ford on the Dreisam river with the picturesque city of Freiburg as its backdrop. Transportation plays a prominent role in this snapshot of history, as a rustic cart pulled by bullocks navigates through the ford. The scene is imbued with religious symbolism as well, with the towering cathedral and church dominating the skyline. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and natural elements highlights both human ingenuity and our connection to spirituality. The landscape itself is breathtakingly beautiful; an idyllic valley surrounded by rolling hills creates a serene setting for daily life in rural Germany during the 19th century. The engraving technique used to reproduce this photograph adds depth to every detail captured within it – from the texture of buildings to wisps of clouds dotting the sky above. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by The Print Collector, we are transported back in time to witness not only geographical features but also regionalism at play. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict such as the Franco-Prussian War, everyday life continues against stunning backdrops like Freiburg im Breisgau – forever frozen in time thanks to William Mackenzie's dedication to preserving these invaluable moments for future generations.
