EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment a steamship gracefully comes to rest at the quay on the banks of the River Elbe in Dresden, Saxony, Germany. The year is circa 1903, and the sun is setting, casting a warm glow over the scene. The Augustus Bridge, a 12-arch sandstone beauty, spans the river in the background. Replaced between 1907 and 1910, this bridge is an iconic symbol of the city's rich history. The steamship, with its tall smokestacks billowing out plumes of steam, is dwarfed by the grand architecture of the bridge, adding to the sense of history and wonder. The trams on the quayside, ready to transport passengers to their destinations, add a touch of bustling activity to the serene image. The fading light and the paddlesteamer in the distance, silhouetted against the evening sky, complete the picture of a bygone era. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the romance and allure of river travel in the early 1900s.
