EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the mesmerizing Mexico Metlac Viaduct, a remarkable feat of engineering that once graced Veracruz, Mexico. The viaduct was an integral part of the Mexican Railroad, connecting distant regions and facilitating trade and travel during the late 19th century. The photographer behind this exquisite albumen silver print is Abel Briquet, a talented French artist whose work beautifully captures both the grandeur of nature and man-made structures. With his keen eye for detail and composition, Briquet expertly frames the viaduct against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of steam locomotives echoing through the valley below. The towering arches of Metlac Viaduct stand as a testament to human ingenuity and determination, defying gravity with their elegant curves. It is fascinating to imagine how life must have been during those years in Veracruz - bustling trains passing over this monumental structure while locals go about their daily lives beneath it. This photograph serves as a window into history, allowing us to glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Let this stunning print transport you to another time and place – where innovation met natural beauty amidst Mexico's enchanting landscapes.
