EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic duo of The Cathedral and Leaning Tower in Pisa, Italy, dating back to 1890. The image showcases the magnificent Pisa Cathedral, which was originally constructed in 1063 by architect Buscheto. Standing proudly beside it is the freestanding bell tower famously known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The photograph comes from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. IV - Modern History" by Edmund Ollier, published by Cassell and Company in London, Paris, and Melbourne during that era. It beautifully portrays the architectural brilliance of both structures against a busy backdrop filled with people going about their day. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of these remarkable landmarks but also in its representation of Italian culture and heritage. This engraving offers a glimpse into an era where literature, art, religion (specifically Catholicism), and history intertwined seamlessly. As we observe this monochrome masterpiece captured over a century ago by an unknown creator or photographer associated with Heritage Images (not mentioned for commercial use), we are transported to a time when these buildings were already considered historic treasures. Today, these structures continue to attract visitors from all around the world who marvel at their beauty while pondering how they have managed to defy gravity for so many centuries.
