EDITORS COMMENTS
This print offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the past, showcasing a birds-eye view of Pittsburgh at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers. Taken by Otto Krebs in 1871, this engraved image captures the essence of a bustling city on the rise. The foreground presents us with an intricate tapestry of activity as we witness boats gracefully navigating through the powerful currents of the Monongahela River. In this snapshot frozen in time, Birmingham stands proudly to our right, its industrial presence evident even from afar. On the left, Allegheny peeks through like a distant dream waiting to be explored. This vintage piece transports us back to an era when Pittsburgh was rapidly evolving into an emblematic symbol of American progress. The illustrative technique employed by Krebs adds depth and character to this engraving, highlighting every architectural detail that dots Pittsburgh's skyline. As we delve deeper into this 19th-century masterpiece, we are reminded of Victorian elegance and sophistication. With its retro-styled allure and impeccable engravement craftsmanship, this artwork from Arkheia's Liszt Collection is not just a historical artifact but also an embodiment of arts and culture during that era. It serves as a visual reminder that history has shaped our present landscape while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond those rivers' horizons.
