EDITORS COMMENTS
The Plaza d Isabella Secondi, Cadiz, 9 October 1849 captures a moment frozen in time by the talented Dr. Claudius Galen Wheelhouse. This remarkable photograph is part of his extensive collection taken during his travels with Lord Lincoln's yachting party as their official surgeon. In this particular print, we are transported to the vibrant city of Cadiz in Andalusia, Spain. The plaza comes alive with bustling activity as people go about their daily routines against a backdrop of stunning Victorian architecture. Wheelhouse's keen eye for detail and composition allows us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of this historic place. As an avid photographer, Wheelhouse ventured beyond Spain and explored various countries across Europe and the Middle East. His calotypes provide us with glimpses into exotic locations such as Portugal, Egypt, Palestine, and Greece – where he captured breathtaking views of Athens and the iconic Acropolis. This image not only showcases Wheelhouse's artistic talent but also serves as a valuable historical record. It transports us back to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages filled the streets and life unfolded at a more leisurely pace. Thanks to the National Railway Museum's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate Dr. Claudius Galen Wheelhouse's extraordinary photographic legacy that offers us glimpses into distant lands and times long past.
