EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Marseille, late 1850s (?)" by Edouard Baldus, takes us back to the bustling city of Marseille in the 19th century. The image showcases a snapshot of the era's transportation system with a freight train stationed at a railway yard. The scene is filled with an array of goods wagons loaded with cargo, hinting at the vibrant trade and commerce that characterized Marseille during this time. Edouard Baldus masterfully captures the essence of this French port city, known for its rich heritage and cultural significance. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of Marseille's architecture but also the fashion choices prevalent among its inhabitants. The people depicted in their period clothing add depth to this historical documentation. As we gaze upon this albumen silver print from over a century ago, we are transported into a different world - one where steam trains chugged along railway tracks connecting cities across Europe. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable record of Marseille's past. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it stands as a testament to Edouard Baldus' skill as well as his contribution to preserving history through photography. Through his lens, he immortalizes moments that would have otherwise been lost in time.
