EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative 19th-century photographic print depicting the Brocken mountain range, specifically the Brocken peak, in Germany. The image is taken from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz Mountains, has long been a source of fascination for travelers and writers. The mountain range, located in central Germany, stretches across the continent from Alsace in the west to the Harz Mountains in the east. In this photograph, the Brocken stands majestically against a backdrop of rolling hills and dense forests, with a scattering of people in the foreground adding a sense of scale and human connection to the scene. The photograph, taken in the 1870s, is a testament to the power of photography to capture the beauty and grandeur of the natural world. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The photograph is also a reminder of the importance of travel and exploration in shaping our understanding of the world around us. The print, which is part of The Print Collector's collection, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or travel literature. It is a reminder of the rich cultural and geographical heritage of Europe and the importance of preserving and celebrating it for future generations. Whether appreciated for its historical significance, its artistic merit, or simply for its breathtaking beauty, "The Brocken: From Alsace to the Hartz" is a photograph that continues to captivate and inspire.
