EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of Lyon, a city steeped in history and architectural marvels. In the foreground stands the magnificent church of Saint Jean, its Gothic spires reaching towards the heavens. The intricate details of arches, building elements, and decorative sections showcase the craftsmanship of this Late Gothic masterpiece. As our gaze extends beyond Saint Jean, we are drawn to the imposing silhouette of Notre Dame de Fourviere in the background. This grand church, dating back to the XII-XV centuries, is a testament to Lyon's rich medieval heritage. Its towering presence adds an ethereal touch to an already enchanting landscape. The photograph transports us back in time as it was captured between 1890-1910 AD by P. Z. , preserving a moment frozen within history. It allows us to witness Lyon's urban development during Europe's first and second millenniums. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of rolling hillsides that frame Lyon's river courses. A large boat gracefully glides along these waters, showcasing both scene and method of transportation from that era. Vegetation adorns riverbanks with its lush greenery while adding depth to this picturesque panorama. The combination of natural beauty and man-made structures creates a harmonious blend between architecture and nature. This remarkable print is brought to us by Alinari through Photoglob & Co. , capturing not only an exquisite piece of art but also providing valuable insight into Lyon's cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization, glimpses into our past can still be preserved for generations to come.
