EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic West Front of St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, taken in 1890 by an unknown photographer. The image showcases the remarkable architecture of this Byzantine cathedral, which dates back to the 11th century and features a Gothic ornamented roofline on its main facade. The photograph is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. III - The Middle Ages" by Edmund Ollier, published by Cassell and Company in London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890. It offers a glimpse into the rich history and opulent beauty of St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), where this magnificent structure stands as a testament to Christianity. In this monochrome scene, we see people going about their day against the backdrop of this historic landmark. Men, women, children – all are immersed in their surroundings as they traverse through time within this medieval setting. The image not only serves as a visual representation but also evokes emotions tied to literature and artistry. Its inclusion in Ollier's book adds depth to its significance as it becomes part of an extensive narrative that explores various aspects of human civilization during the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this exquisite print today, we can appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such architectural marvels centuries ago and our ability to preserve these moments through photography for generations to come.
