EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when the first stone was laid for a monument in honor of the renowned German scientist and explorer, Alexander von Humboldt, during the Centenary celebration in Berlin on a rainy day in the late 19th century. The image, taken from an elevated vantage point, offers a panoramic view of the bustling crowd gathered beneath umbrellas, shielding themselves from the relentless rain. The central figure in the scene is the distinguished-looking man in the top hat, who is believed to be the Mayor of Berlin at the time, as he lays the foundation stone with great ceremony. The monument, which would eventually take the form of a towering obelisk, was erected to commemorate the life and achievements of Humboldt, whose groundbreaking scientific discoveries and extensive travels around the world had left an indelible mark on history. The inscription on the stone, though not visible in this photograph, reads "To the Memory of Alexander von Humboldt, Born September 14, 1769, Died May 6, 1859." This poignant image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable man and the enduring power of human curiosity and exploration.
