EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "El Escorial, historical residence of the King of Spain" by Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the early 20th century, between 1904 and 1938. The image showcases the breathtaking views of the Royal Monastery and Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, located in the foothills of the Guadarrama Mountains near Madrid, Spain. Arnold Genthe, an American photographer, captured this stunning image during his European travels. The nitrate negative, a testament to the photographic techniques of the era, beautifully highlights the architectural grandeur and historical significance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. El Escorial, built between 1563 and 1584, served as a royal palace, monastery, and royal pantheon for the Spanish monarchy. The structure, a masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance architecture, is a symbol of the power and wealth of the Spanish Empire during the 16th century. Genthe's photograph encapsulates the essence of this magnificent building, with its intricate facade, sprawling grounds, and the majestic mountains in the background. The image invites us to explore the rich history and cultural heritage of Europe during the 1900s, a time of great change and innovation. This photograph is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection, housed in the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., USA. The collection, comprising over 10,000 images, is a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of photography and European travel during the 1900s.
