EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Cologne Cathedral from the East, taken in 1890. The creator of this stunning image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The Cologne Cathedral is a true architectural marvel that has stood the test of time. Its construction began in 1248 but was unfortunately halted in 1473, leaving it unfinished for centuries. However, work resumed in the 1840s with a determination to complete it according to its original medieval plan. Finally, in 1880, this colossal edifice reached its full glory. Captured from an engraving featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History". Volume III - The Middle Ages by Edmund Ollier, this photograph transports us back to a bygone era when literature and art flourished hand-in-hand. The Gothic-style cathedral dominates the landscape with its towering spires and intricate facade. As one gazes upon this monochrome masterpiece, they can't help but be awestruck by its grandeur and historic significance. Today, Cologne Cathedral stands as not only a religious symbol but also as a cherished tourist attraction that draws visitors from all corners of the globe. It proudly holds the title of being Germany's largest church and boasts unparalleled beauty both inside and out. This print serves as a testament to human perseverance and dedication towards preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to admire and appreciate.
