EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Madrid in 1842. The image, originally an engraving from 1870, showcases the iconic Puerta del Sol, a historic gateway that has witnessed countless moments in Spanish history. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a carriage making its way through the busy square. The horse-drawn vehicle is surrounded by pedestrians going about their daily lives, providing a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of 19th century Madrid. The composition of this photograph emphasizes both the architectural grandeur of Puerta del Sol and the human activity that animates it. The horizontal frame captures not only the wide expanse of space but also invites our eyes to explore every detail within it. Although little is known about the photographer behind this remarkable piece, Santiago Ortega's name is associated with preserving this historical moment for future generations. This private collection offers us a unique opportunity to delve into Spain's rich past and immerse ourselves in its cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this evocative print, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what life was like during one particular day at Puerta del Sol over a century ago. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, certain places retain their essence throughout history - forever capturing our imagination and curiosity.
