EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the late 19th century, showcasing the breathtaking summit of the Puy de Dome volcano and the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the Temple of Mercury in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The image, estimated to have been taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, is a testament to the rich history and natural wonders of this remarkable region. The Puy de Dome, an iconic volcanic landmark, dominates the landscape with its majestic, conical shape. Its summit, shrouded in a light mist, adds an ethereal quality to the image, while the surrounding greenery and the vast expanse of the Auvergne plateau create a picturesque and nostalgic scene. In the foreground, the ruins of the Temple of Mercury, a Roman temple dedicated to the god Mercury, stand as silent reminders of the ancient civilization that once thrived in this area. The temple, now in a state of decay, is a poignant symbol of the passage of time and the enduring allure of history. The photograph, with its warm, coloured tones and intricate details, is a stunning example of the photochrom process, a popular method of colour photography during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This process, which involved the use of multiple photographs to create a coloured image, allowed photographers to capture the vibrancy and richness of the world around them, adding a new dimension to the art of photography. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to experience the history, beauty, and nostalgia of a bygone era.
