1. Title: "A Glance into the Past: Rijeka's Harbour at Adams Point during the Austro-Hungarian Empire" 2.. This evocative photograph captures the picturesque harbour scene at Adams Point in Rijeka, Croatia, during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The image, taken from a bygone era, showcases the quaint charm of the historic waterfront, with its swing bridge and the majestic molo (mole or quay) extending into the Adriatic Sea. 3. The scene is a testament to the rich maritime history of Rijeka, then known as Fiume, which thrived as a vital port city under the Austro-Hungarian rule. The harbour bustles with activity, with sailors and labourers unloading goods from the teeming merchant ships, while others prepare for the next voyage. 4. The elegant swing bridge, a symbol of the city's industrial prowess, adds to the vibrant atmosphere, connecting the quay side to the land. The intricate lattice design of the bridge's structure is a marvel of engineering, reflecting the advanced infrastructure of the time. 5. The photograph also highlights the architectural beauty of the quay side buildings, with their ornate facades and intricate details, which have withstood the test of time. The harmonious blend of the natural harbour and the man-made structures creates a captivating tableau, offering a glimpse into the history of this enchanting Croatian city. 6. This photograph, taken from the extensive Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a must-have for history enthusiasts, architects, and anyone with an appreciation for the charm of yesteryears. It serves as a reminder of the fascinating past of Rijeka and its role as a vital port city during the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
