EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the House of Pizarro in Cuzco, Peru, taken in 1890. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. This colonial villa once belonged to Francisco Pizarro, a Spanish colonist who arrived in Cusco in 1533 during the era of Inca civilization. The photograph is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History". Volume IV - Modern History by Edmund Ollier. It offers a glimpse into the architectural features and grandeur of this sixteenth-century building. The balconies and intricate details on the facade are beautifully captured in monochrome. As we delve into history through this image, it becomes evident that the House of Pizarro holds great cultural importance as a symbol of colonialism and colonization. Its presence stands as a testament to the influence European powers had on South America during that time. The photo invites us to imagine what life was like within these walls centuries ago – bustling with activity, literature filling its rooms, and people passing through its grand entranceway day after day. Preserved through time, this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historic value embedded within each detail. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can transcend generations while preserving stories from our pasts.
