EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lantern slide presents a captivating view of the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, dating back to the late 1890s. The image showcases the renowned architectural marvel leaning precariously to one side, as it has become known for, with two horse-drawn carts parked outside. The horses, harnessed and ready, seem oblivious to the historical significance of the tower behind them. The Leaning Tower of Pisa, located in the city of Pisa, is a freestanding bell tower situated in the Square of Miracles. Construction began in 1173, but due to the softness of the ground, the tower began to sink. Despite efforts to correct the issue, the tower continued to lean, reaching an incline of approximately 4 degrees. This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 196, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and charm of Italy during the late 19th century. The hand-colouring adds a vibrant touch to the image, enhancing the details of the tower and the carts, making it an intriguing piece for historians, photographers, and anyone with an interest in the history of travel and exploration. The Leaning Tower of Pisa remains a popular tourist destination today, attracting millions of visitors each year. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of this architectural marvel and the rich history it represents.
