EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the serene beauty of the Courtyard of the original Palace Hotel in San Francisco, USA. The image captures a moment frozen in history before tragedy struck this magnificent architectural gem. Published in 1886 as part of "America Revisited: From The Bay of New York to The Gulf of Mexico" this archival engraving transports us to an era long gone. It is a poignant reminder that even grand structures are not immune to nature's wrath. The courtyard exudes elegance and sophistication with its intricate design and lush greenery. One can almost imagine guests strolling along its paths, enjoying moments of tranquility amidst the bustling cityscape beyond its walls. Sadly, fate had other plans for this iconic hotel. In 1906, a devastating earthquake reduced it to ruins, leaving behind only memories etched into photographs like this one. As we gaze upon this vintage picture today, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of human creations. It serves as a testament to our ability to rebuild and rise from ashes – just as San Francisco did after that fateful earthquake. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to appreciate the historical significance and architectural splendor that once graced these hallowed grounds - forever preserved within this timeless image.
