EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-010775-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Basel, Switzerland. The focal point of this image is none other than the magnificent Spalentor, a gate that once formed part of the medieval walls surrounding the city. Dating back to the 14th century, this architectural marvel stands tall and proud, showcasing its intricate arches and decorative elements. Its towering spire reaches towards the sky while crenelations adorn its fortified tower. Serving as both a military stronghold and defensive structure, it has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. Intriguingly enough, amidst this timeless setting lies a watch or clock instrument affixed to one side of the gate. This symbolizes not only an instrument for measuring time but also serves as a reminder that life continues to move forward even within these ancient surroundings. The street scene captured in this photograph adds depth and context to our understanding of Basel's vibrant past. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during an era between 1890 - 1910 when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets while people went about their business. Photographed by P. Z. , from Photoglob & Co. , this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate Basel's rich architectural heritage while immersing ourselves in its historical ambiance. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel transported through time – experiencing firsthand what it was like to stand before such grandeur in Switzerland's cultural capital.
