EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases a breathtaking general view of Kynast in the Riesengebirge mountains of Germany. The image, bathed in rich, nostalgic tones, transports us back in time to the late 19th century. The Riesengebirge, or the Giant Mountains, is a mountain range located primarily in Poland and Germany. Kynast, a picturesque village nestled within this range, is renowned for its natural beauty and quaint charm. In this photograph, the village of Kynast is framed by the rolling hills and dense forests that characterize the Riesengebirge landscape. The village itself is a charming assemblage of red-roofed houses, their gabled facades adorned with intricate woodwork. The winding, cobblestone streets add to the village's old-world allure. In the foreground, a clear, tranquil lake reflects the vibrant colors of the scene, adding a serene element to the composition. The photograph, a coloured print, is a testament to the artistry of the Photochrom process, which was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This technique involved hand-coloring photographs with watercolors, resulting in vivid, lifelike images. The use of this process adds to the nostalgic and picturesque quality of the photograph, making it a treasure for those who appreciate the history and beauty of the past.
