EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the enchanting city of Haridwar, India in 1881. The image showcases the majestic Headworks Ganges Canal, standing tall above Hurdwar. With its exquisite composition and impeccable detail, this albumen silver print captures a moment frozen in time. The viewer is immediately drawn to the grandeur of the canal's headworks, which proudly dominates the landscape. Its intricate design and architectural brilliance are evident even through this monochromatic medium. The sheer scale of this engineering marvel leaves us in awe of human ingenuity. As we delve deeper into the photograph, our eyes wander towards Haridwar itself - a bustling city steeped in spirituality and rich cultural heritage. We can almost feel ourselves being transported to its vibrant streets filled with devotees seeking solace along the holy Ganges River. The choice of an albumen silver print adds a touch of nostalgia to this already evocative image. It harkens back to a time when photography was still in its infancy, yet capable of capturing such breathtaking scenes with remarkable precision. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to witness firsthand how mankind has shaped landscapes for centuries. It reminds us that even amidst rapid modernization, there are places where tradition and nature continue to coexist harmoniously – just like Haridwar on the banks of Ganges Canal.
