EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Mannheim in the year 1872. The town of Mannheim, located at the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar rivers in Germany, is beautifully captured by E I Roberts. In this scene, a cargo ship peacefully rests at the quayside while horses graze nearby. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of the Jesuit Church, an architectural gem constructed during the 18th century. Sadly, this magnificent church suffered significant damage during World War II. The image evokes a sense of tranquility as it showcases both natural and man-made elements harmoniously coexisting. The print offers a snapshot into history from Captain H M Hozier's book on "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences". Published in London in 1872 by William Mackenzie, it provides valuable insights into this period. Transportation plays a prominent role in this image with boats dotting the river and fishermen going about their daily tasks. It serves as a reminder of how crucial water transport was for trade and livelihoods during that era. Overall, this photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights Mannheim's geographical features alongside its religious significance. It stands as an exquisite testament to German history and reminds us of both resilience and beauty amidst challenging times.
