EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Columbia from the Capitol" captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken by George N. Barnard, an American photographer born in 1819, this image showcases his exceptional talent and eye for detail. The negative was captured around 1865 during a time of great historical significance in America. The photograph depicts the majestic Columbia Capitol building, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Its neoclassical architecture is beautifully accentuated by the soft light that bathes its white facade. The composition allows viewers to appreciate both the grandeur of the structure itself and its harmonious integration into Washington D. C. 's landscape. Barnard's choice to use an albumen silver print technique adds depth and richness to this already stunning image. This process involves coating paper with egg whites (albumen) mixed with silver salts, resulting in a delicate yet durable print that enhances fine details and tonal range. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes. It serves as a testament to Barnard's skillful artistry and his ability to capture not only architectural beauty but also moments frozen in time. This print from Liszt Collection is more than just a visual representation; it is an invitation to explore America's past through one man's lens - George N. Barnard's lens
