EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Puerta del Sol de Vigo (Galicia) in 1910. The image captures the vibrant energy of this urban hub, where trams and cabs navigate through a sea of people and traffic. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's transportation system during the early 20th century. The composition is beautifully framed horizontally, allowing us to appreciate every detail of this historical moment frozen in time. The old trains stand as silent witnesses to an era when public transport played a vital role in connecting communities. Santiago Ortega, the photographer behind this remarkable piece, skillfully captures both the grandeur and chaos of urban life. His lens immortalizes a scene that showcases not only the evolution of transportation but also hints at Vigo's urban planning efforts during that period. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that it belongs to a private collection, adding an air of exclusivity and rarity to its existence. Its discovery allows us access to an unknown chapter in Vigo's history. This evocative image sparks our curiosity about how far we have come since then while reminding us of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
