EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken in 1905 showcases the impressive construction progress of the Liege Exposition Universelle's new concert hall. With an astonishing capacity to accommodate up to 3000 people, this architectural marvel was built entirely of steel, utilizing over 300 tons of metal. The innovative use of steel in such a large-scale structure was a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The image captures the intricate details of the building's design, from the scaffolding that supports the structure to the rubble that lies at its base. The concert hall's skeletal frame stands tall against the backdrop of the city of Liege, with horse-drawn carts and workers in the foreground adding a sense of scale and historical context. The construction of this impressive edifice was a significant undertaking for the Liege Exposition Universelle, which aimed to showcase the latest advancements in science, technology, and culture. The concert hall's ballroom was expected to be a grand centerpiece of the event, providing visitors with a unique and memorable experience. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when engineering feats of this magnitude were truly awe-inspiring. It is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the people of the time, who pushed the boundaries of what was possible to create something truly extraordinary.
