EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Street in Bucharest; Wallachia, 1854,' offers a glimpse into the past of Romania's historic capital city. The photograph, which originated from the 'Cassells Illustrated Family Paper; London Weekly' published between December 31, 1853, and December 30, 1854, is an engraving, likely created from an original sketch or drawing. The scene portrays a bustling street in Bucharest, the principal city of the Danubian Principalities, located in the southern part of Romania. The image showcases a collection of impressive, old-world buildings with intricate architectural details, their facades adorned with ornate cornices, balconies, and shuttered windows. The structures appear to be in various stages of construction, suggesting that the city was undergoing development during this period. The busy street is filled with people, some of whom are engaged in commerce, while others seem to be simply going about their daily routines. The image offers a unique perspective on the urban landscape of Bucharest during the 19th century. The city, which was part of the Romanian principalities, was under Ottoman rule until 1859, and this photograph provides a rare glimpse into the city before its transformation into the modern metropolis it is today. The image's mysterious origins add to its allure, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or those with an interest in European history and architecture.
