EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to 1912, capturing a picturesque scene on the Elbe River in Riesa, Germany. The image showcases a fleet of majestic paddle steamers gracefully gliding through the calm waters of Saxony. The barge-filled river serves as a lifeline for trade and transportation, connecting towns and cities along its course. In this particular snapshot, we witness the bustling activity that once characterized this vital waterway. The barges are laden with goods, their sturdy frames reflecting the industrious spirit of Germany's past. The paddle steamers steal the show with their elegant design and towering smokestacks billowing clouds of steam into the sky. These vessels were not only practical but also symbols of progress during an era when steam power revolutionized travel and commerce. Located in Landkreis Meissen, Groba is where this enchanting moment was captured. Its serene beauty is enhanced by a small tugboat accompanying these grand ships downriver. This charming detail adds depth to an already mesmerizing composition. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we can almost hear the rhythmic churning of paddles against water and feel ourselves transported to a bygone era filled with adventure and discovery. It serves as a reminder of how rivers like the Elbe have shaped our world throughout history – witnessing countless stories unfold along their banks.
