EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Lion of Venice, standing proudly beside San Marco in Italy. Created by an unknown artist around 1909, this ancient bronze winged lion sculpture is believed to have originated from as far back as 300 BC. The photograph can be viewed using a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood. The image captures the essence of travel and transport in early 20th century Italy, with boats moored nearby and gondolas gliding through the water. The Lion of Venice stands as a symbol of strength and power, guarding the entrance to St Mark's Basilica in Piazza San Marco. This iconic landmark holds great religious significance for Italians, representing their deep-rooted Christian heritage. The composition beautifully juxtaposes the ancient lion against the backdrop of a bustling square filled with people going about their day. The towering cathedral and its ornate pillars add to the grandeur of this historic location. As a vintage piece of cinematography, this print takes us back in time to experience Italy's rich cultural heritage firsthand. It serves as a reminder that even centuries-old sculptures continue to captivate tourists from all over the world who flock to witness its beauty.
