EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the new city of La Plata, Buenos Ayres, during the late 19th century. The artist, E Watkins, skillfully portrays this architectural marvel that was founded by Dr Dardo Rocha in November 1882. As Governor of Buenos Aires and a statesman, Rocha played a pivotal role in shaping this vibrant capital of the Argentine Republic. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent Cathedral of La Plata with its towering spires reaching towards the heavens. Its impressive presence dominates the cityscape and serves as a testament to Argentina's deep-rooted Christian heritage. The intricate details captured by Watkins showcase his keen eye for architecture and color. In addition to showcasing this remarkable landmark, Watkins also includes a portrait of Dr Dardo Rocha himself. With his distinguished beard and commanding presence, Rocha symbolizes both power and vision as he overlooks his creation with pride. This print not only highlights the beauty of La Plata but also provides insight into Argentina's political landscape during that era. It serves as an invaluable historical document that allows us to appreciate how one man's determination can shape an entire city. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the birth of a great metropolis – a testament to human ingenuity and ambition.
