EDITORS COMMENTS
Abbazia, General View, Istria, Austro-Hungary (ca. 1890-1900) This beautifully colored and nostalgic photograph captures the picturesque view of Abbazia, a historic town located on the western coast of the Istrian Peninsula in the late 19th century. At the time, Abbazia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a multinational state that ruled over a diverse population in Central Europe. The image showcases the town's charming architecture, with its red-tiled roofs, winding streets, and pastel-colored buildings. The town's name, Abbazia, is derived from the Italian word for abbey, reflecting its rich history as a center of religious and cultural significance. The photograph was likely taken using the photochrom process, a popular method for producing colored images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The process involved the use of multiple color filters and careful hand-coloring, resulting in vibrant and detailed images that captured the essence of the past. As we gaze upon this image of Abbazia, we are transported back in time to a era of horse-drawn carriages, cobblestone streets, and the bustling activity of a thriving European town. The nostalgia we feel is not only for the history of the place, but also for the simpler times and the beauty of the world as it once was.
