EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite engraving by Pedro Pascual Moles, created in 1779. This historical artwork is taken from the book "Memorias históricas sobre la Marina, Comercio y Artes de Barcelona" (Historic Memoirs on the Navy, Trade, and Arts of Barcelona) by A. Capmany. The print is currently housed in the National Library of Spain in Madrid. The image captures a panoramic view of Barcelona, Spain's second-largest city, as it appeared over two centuries ago. The harbor, with its bustling ships and busy port activity, dominates the foreground. The Gothic Quarter, with its distinctive red-tiled rooftops, is visible in the background, as are other parts of the city, including the La Ribera district and the Montjuïc hill. Pedro Pascual Moles was a renowned Spanish engraver, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the places he depicted. This engraving is a testament to his skill, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. The book from which this print is taken, "Memorias históricas," was written by Agustín de Campmany i Campany, a Catalan historian and economist. The work is considered a seminal text in the study of Barcelona's history, commerce, and arts. The engraving by Moles adds an invaluable visual component to the text, providing a visual record of Barcelona's urban landscape during the late 18th century. The National Library of Spain, with its vast collection of historical documents and artworks, is a treasure trove for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in Spain's rich history. This engraving by Pedro Pascual Moles is just one of the many gems that can be found in its extensive holdings. In summary, the "View of Barcelona" engraving by Pedro Pascual Moles is an essential historical document that offers a captivating glimpse into the past. It is a valuable addition to the National Library of Spain's collection and a testament to the skill and artistry of Pedro Pascual Moles.
