EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1880s, captures the essence of Spain Avenue in Elche, Alicante, during the 19th century. The image, an exquisite example of early photographic processes, was most likely produced using either albumen or collodion techniques. The meticulously composed frame showcases a bustling urban scene, where traditional Spanish architecture and indigenous elements harmoniously coexist. The grandeur of the stone buildings, with their intricate facades and wrought-iron balconies, stands in stark contrast to the simple attire of the native people going about their daily routines. The street, lined with trees and cobblestones, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this historic town. Elche, located in the province of Alicante, was a thriving city during the late 19th century, with strong ties to the Spanish Empire. The architectural landscape reflects the influence of both the imperial and Victorian eras, creating a unique blend of European and indigenous styles. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable ethnographic record of a bygone era. The image invites us to explore the history and traditions of Elche, a town that continues to captivate visitors with its stunning architecture, vibrant culture, and rich heritage.
