EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the majestic Catedral de Guadalupe, offering breathtaking views of Mexico City and its surrounding areas. The photograph, taken by Desire Charnay between 1828 and 1915, is a stunning example of albumen printing dating back to 1858. The image transports us to a time when Mexico City was still emerging as a bustling metropolis. The Catedral de Guadalupe stands tall and proud in the foreground, its intricate architecture capturing the essence of Mexican culture and history. As we gaze upon this iconic landmark, our eyes are drawn towards the vast expanse of Mexico City's environs that stretch out before us. Charnay's expert composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of the cathedral and the sprawling urban landscape beyond it. We can almost feel ourselves standing on that mountaintop where this photograph was captured, taking in all that surrounds us. The title for this mesmerizing piece comes from a caption written on its mount. It serves as a reminder that even though this print has been preserved over time, it continues to inspire awe and wonder today. As we admire this historical treasure from afar, let us immerse ourselves in its beauty and reflect on how far both Mexico City and photography have come since then.
