EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-169827-0000" we are transported back in time to the enchanting island of Corfu during the late 19th century. The focal point of the image is none other than The Saint George Grand Hotel, an architectural marvel that exudes elegance and grandeur. As our eyes wander across the scene, we are immediately drawn to the intricate details adorning every inch of this magnificent building. From its ornate windows to meticulously crafted building elements, it becomes evident that no expense was spared in creating such a masterpiece. The delicate decorations and sections showcase a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. The hotel's architecture seamlessly blends classic and contemporary styles, with its balconies gracefully overlooking a bustling road avenue below. It stands tall as a symbol of opulence amidst an urban landscape, offering luxurious accommodations for those seeking respite from their daily lives. Borri, Bartolomeo & Figlio expertly captured this moment in time between 1890-1900 ca. , freezing history within their lens. Their photographic prowess allows us to witness not only the physical structure but also glimpse into life during that era - horse-drawn carriages traversing cobblestone streets and elegantly dressed individuals strolling along the promenade. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity while providing us with a nostalgic glimpse into bygone days on Corfu Island. Its timeless appeal reminds us that even though years have passed since its capture by Alinari, beauty remains eternal when preserved through artistry and skillful documentation like Borri, Bartolomeo & Figlio achieved here.
