EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Mexico City in 1858. The image showcases the stunning views of Mexico City and its environs, as seen from Santo Domingo. Renowned photographer Desire Charnay skillfully captured this moment using albumen printing techniques, which add a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the magnificent church of Santo Domingo. Its grandeur and architectural beauty dominate the skyline, standing tall amidst a bustling cityscape. The intricate details of the church's facade are brought to life through Charnay's lens, showcasing his mastery in capturing both scale and precision. Beyond the church, we catch glimpses of Mexico City's sprawling urban landscape stretching out into the distance. The rooftops and streets below hint at a vibrant city teeming with life and activity. From this vantage point, one can only imagine what daily life was like during that era – horse-drawn carriages navigating cobblestone streets, merchants selling their wares in lively markets, and locals going about their daily routines. As we gaze upon this historical treasure preserved by the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to an enchanting period in Mexican history. This print serves as a testament to Charnay's talent for capturing not just images but also moments frozen in time – allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of architecture and glimpse into Mexico City's past.
