EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed view of the external colonnade of Bourges Cathedral, beautifully captured by Pierre-Emile-Joseph Pecarrere in 1851. The French photographer's keen eye for architectural details is evident in this stunning piece, which measures 16 x 21.4 cm (6 5/16 x 8 7/16 in. ). The intricate design and craftsmanship of the cathedral's colonnade are brought to life through the salted paper print technique used by Pecarrere. This traditional method, involving coating paper with a light-sensitive solution made from salt and silver nitrate, adds depth and texture to the image. The viewer is transported to Bourges, France, where they can marvel at the grandeur of this Gothic masterpiece. Every column and arch is meticulously captured, showcasing the skillful workmanship that went into creating this architectural wonder. Pécarrère's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the overall beauty of Bourges Cathedral but also its individual elements. The waxed paper negative used for this print further enhances its unique aesthetic quality. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of both the artistic talent behind it and our own capacity for awe-inspiring creations. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history and invites us to explore further into the world of architecture and photography.
