EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the enchanting city of Alexandria in Egypt, circa 1881. The photograph is attributed to Alexandria F Meissner, a French photographer who was active during the 1860s and 1870s. The image itself is an albumen silver print, showcasing Meissner's skillful use of this popular photographic technique. In this particular composition, Meissner captures the essence of Alexandria with remarkable precision. The scene unfolds before our eyes as we are transported to a bustling street corner in this vibrant city. The architecture reflects a blend of European influences and traditional Egyptian design, creating a unique visual tapestry that epitomizes Alexandria's cultural diversity. The play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the photograph, enhancing its overall allure. One can almost feel the warmth of the sun on their skin as they imagine strolling through these historic streets over a century ago. Meissner's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this image – from the intricate carvings on buildings to the lively activity happening around them. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that allows us to glimpse into life during that era. As we admire this splendid piece from afar, let us appreciate not only Meissner's talent but also his contribution in preserving moments like these for generations to come.
