EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1914, offering a glimpse into the construction of the new quays in Rio de Janeiro. The image is sourced from "The Beautiful Rio De Janeiro" by Alured Gray Bell, published by William Heinemann in London. It showcases an elevated view of the bustling bay area, with boats moored along the newly built quays. The scene exudes a sense of progress and anticipation as Brazil's transportation infrastructure undergoes significant development. The rooftops of nearby buildings provide a picturesque backdrop against which this momentous transformation unfolds. This aerial perspective allows us to appreciate both the scale and beauty of this coastal city. As we delve into this monochrome vista, it becomes evident that this photograph captures more than just a snapshot in time; it encapsulates an entire era. It serves as a testament to Brazil's growth during the early 20th century and its emergence as an influential player on the global stage. With its historical significance and artistic composition, this print transports us back to a pivotal period in Brazilian history. It invites contemplation about how cities evolve over time while also reminding us of our connection to past generations who shaped our present-day surroundings.
