EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Antwerp in the late 19th century. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent Hotel de ville d'Anvers, standing tall and proud amidst a sea of daily life activities. The Belgian School photographer skillfully captured this moment using the innovative technique of photochrom, which adds a touch of color and depth to an otherwise black and white scene. As we delve into this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to the lively pedestrian-filled street leading up to the town hall. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their day, each with their own purpose and destination. It's as if time has stood still for just a brief moment, allowing us to witness snippets of everyday life in this vibrant city. The architectural beauty showcased in this photograph is truly remarkable. The intricate details and grandeur of Belgian architecture are on full display here, making it evident why Antwerp is renowned for its stunning buildings. This particular view captures not only the elegance but also gives us a glimpse into how seamlessly these structures blend into their urban surroundings. Preserved within private collections like The Stapleton Collection, images like these serve as invaluable windows into our past. They allow us to appreciate both the artistry behind early photography techniques and gain insight into bygone eras that have shaped our present-day cities.
