EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of Notre Dame del Pilar in the late 1890s, as seen from the banks of the River Ebro in Zaragoza, Spain. The image, which dates back to the late 19th century, transports us to an era of exploration and discovery, when travel across oceans and continents was a daring and romantic endeavor. The photograph was likely taken during the British rule of the Gibraltar territory, which began in 1704 and lasted until 1982. The presence of British influence is evident in the lantern-like structure on the left side of the image, which could be a reference to the British colonial architecture of the time. Notre Dame del Pilar, a stunning Roman Catholic basilica, stands proudly in the background, its domed silhouette framed by the arched bridge that spans the river. The intricate details of the church's facade, with its ornate carvings and statues, are visible even from a distance. The rocks along the riverbank add texture and depth to the image, their rough surfaces contrasting with the smooth, elegant lines of the church. The water of the river reflects the sky above, creating a sense of calm and tranquility that belies the bustling activity of the city beyond the frame. This photograph is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to another time and place, to capture the beauty and wonder of the world around us, and to preserve memories for future generations to enjoy.
