EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Kyoto island of Honshu, Japan. The scene is set with an electric tram gracefully gliding through the foreground, while our gaze is drawn towards a magnificent old gateway standing proudly amidst its surroundings. This gateway serves as a portal to one of the countless ancient temples that have graced this sacred land for centuries. Taken on 3 May 1922, this monochrome snapshot captures the essence of a bygone era. It transports us to a time when trams were still a novelty and modernity was beginning to intertwine with tradition. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia and wonder as we contemplate the rich history that lies within those temple walls. The photographer's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the intricate details of the tram and the grandeur of the gateway simultaneously. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this portrait-like photograph, further enhancing its timeless allure. Preserved by Central News, this Europeana photography gem offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment frozen in time. As we admire this remarkable piece from TopFoto's collection, let it serve as a reminder of how even in our fast-paced world, there are places where ancient beauty continues to thrive against all odds.
