EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "View in Cremona, 1890" takes us back to the enchanting medieval era of Italy. The photograph showcases the magnificent Romanesque cathedral of Cremona, a city that withstood the test of time since its Byzantine origins during the Lombard invasion. The image beautifully captures the architectural grandeur of this historic structure. The cathedral's facade stands tall and proud against a backdrop of darkness, emphasizing its significance as a beacon of Christianity in those times. Its construction began over eight centuries ago and was finally completed around 1160-1170. Intriguingly, amidst this timeless architecture lies a bustling market scene. A lone male figure can be seen engaging in trade activities, adding an element of life to this otherwise still snapshot from history. The presence of background people further immerses us into the vibrant atmosphere surrounding this ancient city. Printed from an engraving featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier in 1890, this monochrome masterpiece offers us a glimpse into both literature and artistry combined. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout different periods while preserving our connection to our cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back through time to witness the beauty and resilience that define Cremona—a true gem nestled within Lombardy's picturesque landscape.
