EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Cologne Cathedral in 1890, a true masterpiece of German architecture. With its origins dating back to the 13th century, this iconic landmark has stood the test of time and remains Germany's most visited site. The construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 but was unfortunately halted in 1473, leaving it unfinished for centuries. However, thanks to a resurgence of interest in Gothic architecture during the 19th century, work on the cathedral resumed in the 1840s. Finally, after years of dedication and adherence to its original medieval plans, this grand edifice was completed in all its glory by 1880. Captured from an engraving featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier and published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890; this image transports us back to a time when religion played a central role in society. The photo depicts people going about their day outside the cathedral's impressive facade. The towering structure stands tall against the backdrop of a monochrome landscape. Its intricate details showcase fine craftsmanship that is characteristic of Gothic design. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are reminded not only of Germany's rich cultural heritage but also how human determination can bring forth architectural wonders that continue to inspire awe even today.
