EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in Mayence around 1872 by E I Roberts, transports us back to a significant era in German history. The image showcases the bustling River Rhine, adorned with an array of sailing boats and steamships gracefully gliding through its waters. In the distance stands the magnificent St Martins Cathedral on the far riverbank, exuding a sense of religious grandeur. The scene captures both the essence of transportation and religion during this time period. The ships symbolize Germany's thriving transport industry as they navigate their way along one of Europe's most important waterways. Meanwhile, St Martins Cathedral represents Mainz's rich Christian heritage and serves as a reminder of its spiritual significance. Through this photograph, we gain insight into Mainz's geographical features and architectural marvels that have stood for centuries. The townscape is beautifully framed by the riverbanks and highlights the harmonious coexistence between nature and human civilization. Elegantly engraved by Myles Birket Foster for Captain H M Hozier's book on "The Franco-Prussian War" this print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers historical context to viewers today. It allows us to appreciate how transportation played a vital role in shaping cities like Mainz while showcasing its cultural landmarks such as St Martins Cathedral. This remarkable nineteenth-century print from William Mackenzie Publishing provides us with an intriguing glimpse into Mainz’s past – an enchanting blend of artistry, history, geography, religion, and transport all captured within one frame.
