EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur of the 19th century, capturing a serene moment on a terrace in the Palace of Achilles. Built in 1891 for the illustrious Empress Elisabeth II of Austria, this architectural masterpiece stands proudly amidst the picturesque landscape of Corfu, Greece. The classical architecture is truly awe-inspiring, with majestic columns reaching towards the heavens and intricate statues adorning every corner. The scene depicted here exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of royal residences during this era. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into a bygone world where opulence reigned supreme. It is fascinating to think that what was once a regal abode has now been transformed into a casino - an unexpected twist in its storied history. The juxtaposition between classical beauty and modern entertainment adds another layer of intrigue to this photograph. While it may seem incongruous at first glance, it serves as a reminder that even centuries-old structures can adapt and evolve with changing times. This remarkable piece from General's collection captures not only the essence of Victorian-era splendor but also invites us to ponder how historical landmarks continue to shape our present-day experiences.
