EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the enchanting city of Rome in the mid-19th century. The image showcases the magnificent St. Peter's Basilica, one of Rome's most iconic landmarks, standing tall and proud against a clear blue sky. Intriguingly, this particular photograph features a distinguished British woman named Mrs. Jane St. John, who was captured in her elegant attire amidst the grandeur of St. Peter's Square. Mrs. St. John, born in 1803 and passing away in 1882, seems to have embarked on an adventurous journey through Italy during the years 1856-1859. The albumen silver print technique used for this image adds depth and richness to its composition while preserving intricate details with remarkable clarity. It is fascinating to imagine how this delicate piece was created from a paper negative—a testament to both artistic skill and technical ingenuity. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in the beauty of Rome as it appeared more than a century ago. This photograph not only captures architectural splendor but also offers us a glimpse into Mrs. Jane St John's personal story—an intrepid traveler exploring foreign lands during an era when such adventures were rare for women.
