View of Lisbon - A Glimpse into 19th Century Portugal
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "View of Lisbon" takes us on a journey back in time to the enchanting cityscape of 19th century Portugal. Captured from Fort Almeida, this scene offers a panoramic vista that showcases the beauty and grandeur of Lisbon during this era. The image is based on an engraving by E. Finden, which was created after a drawing by C. Stanfield, who sketched it from W. Page's original artwork. Published in "The Works of Lord Byron Vol 2" by William Anderson, this print has become a treasured piece within historical collections. As we delve into the details depicted in this mesmerizing composition, we are transported to an age where horse-drawn carriages were the primary means of transportation. The presence of boats along the river adds another layer to the bustling activity within the city's port. Amidst these modes of conveyance and transport lies an architectural marvel that stands tall against time—a testament to Lisbon's rich history. The buildings exude classical elegance with their intricate designs and ornate facades. Intriguingly, soldiers can be seen scattered throughout the scene—a reminder perhaps of France's influence during Napoleon's reign or even hints at past sieges endured by this resilient city. Through delicate engravings and skilled craftsmanship, Bridgeman Images brings forth not just a mere photograph but rather an immersive experience that allows us to witness firsthand how life unfolded in 19th century Europe—specifically capturing Portugal’s unique charm. This extraordinary print serves as both a window into history and as a work of art that invites contemplation about our shared human heritage. It reminds us that while times may change, there will always be timeless beauty waiting for those willing to explore it through visual storytelling.
