EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Barcelona in 1890. The image captures a steam tram from Barcelona to Sarria as it gracefully circulates by the junction of Balmes Street and Aragon Street. The scene is filled with historical charm, showcasing a moment frozen in time during the late 19th century. The antique tram stands out against the backdrop of elegant buildings, reflecting an era when steam-powered transportation was at its peak. The photograph's horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every detail, from the intricate architecture lining both streets to the vintage attire worn by pedestrians strolling along the sidewalks. It serves as a visual portal into Catalonia's rich history and cultural heritage. Although we do not know much about this particular tram or its operator, Santiago Ortega skillfully captured this significant moment on film. Preserved within a private collection, this rare glimpse into Spain's past reminds us of how far transportation has come since then. This remarkable piece offers more than just nostalgia; it invites viewers to reflect on how advancements in technology have shaped our modern world. As we admire this snapshot from over a century ago, let us appreciate both the progress made and cherish these remnants of our collective history
