EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View Kearny Street Foreground Orphans Asylum" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 1856 United States. The image, captured by G. R. Fardon, a British photographer known for his remarkable work, showcases an intriguing perspective of Kearny Street. In the foreground stands the Orphans Asylum, a significant landmark that played a vital role in providing shelter and care for vulnerable children during that era. Its imposing presence against the backdrop of Kearny Street evokes a sense of both hope and melancholy. The salted paper print technique used to create this artwork adds depth and texture to every detail. Measuring at 15.4 x 20.2 cm (6 1/16 x 7 15/16 in. ), it invites viewers to immerse themselves in its historical significance. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when life was simpler yet filled with challenges. It serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by orphans and their resilience amidst adversity. The Liszt Collection presents this extraordinary piece not for commercial use but rather as an opportunity to appreciate art's ability to capture moments frozen in time. Let us cherish this glimpse into history and reflect on how far we have come since then while honoring those who dedicated their lives to caring for society's most vulnerable members - the orphans.
