EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the bustling port of Antofagasta, which served as Bolivia's chief railway in the early 20th century. The image showcases the vibrant energy of this South American city, located on the western hemisphere's continent. The lithograph is an illustration from "The World and its People" a comprehensive tour of all lands by Charles F Horne, published in 1924. It offers a glimpse into the thriving railway system that connected Bolivia to international trade routes during this time. In the foreground, we see a busy harbor with moorings filled with ships ready for loading and unloading goods. The harbour wall stands tall against crashing waves, providing protection for vessels docking at this vital transportation hub. Amidst the hustle and bustle of activity, people can be seen going about their daily lives. Whether they are workers or local residents enjoying their surroundings, their presence adds depth to this snapshot of history. This lithograph not only portrays Antofagasta's importance as a strategic port but also highlights its role as a meeting point between different cultures and nations. It serves as a reminder of how railways played a crucial role in shaping economic growth and development during this era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art from the early 20th century, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty today.
