EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a pivotal moment in the history of astronomy and architecture in France. Taken in 1875, it shows the earthmoving process for the construction of the observatory on Pic du Midi du Bigorre in Hautes-Pyrenees. The laborers depicted in this image are hard at work shaping the landscape to make way for this groundbreaking observatory. Their efforts would ultimately lead to a hub of knowledge and discovery that would revolutionize our understanding of the universe. The observatory itself stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Perched high atop the mountains, it serves as a beacon of scientific progress and architectural beauty amidst the rugged terrain of Midi-Pyrenees. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when exploration and innovation were at their peak. The intricate details captured by Lux-in-Fine allow us to appreciate not only the physical labor involved but also the artistry behind such an ambitious project.
