EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Benedictine Convent Catania 1846" takes us back in time to the picturesque city of Catania, Italy. The image was captured using a salted paper print technique by George Wilson Bridges, a British photographer known for his mastery of early photographic processes. Measuring at 6 3/4 x 8 9/16 inches (17.1 x 21.7 cm), this photograph showcases the stunning architecture and serene atmosphere of the Benedictine Convent in Catania during the year 1846. Bridges learned from William Henry Fox Talbot, a renowned British inventor, and embarked on a Mediterranean journey to produce photographs as part of an ambitious project that unfortunately never came to fruition. The use of paper negative and positive in this paper-based calotype process allows for intricate details and subtle tonal variations to be captured directly onto the photographic medium. This particular print is part of Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, which features historical photographs curated with great care. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and tranquility that once graced these hallowed halls. It serves as a testament to both Bridges' skill as a photographer and the enduring allure of historic photography.
