EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "City View Rooftops" is attributed to either Hippolyte Bayard or William Henry Fox Talbot, two renowned photographers of the 19th century. Taken around the years 1840-1849, this salted paper print measures approximately 17.3 by 23.3 cm. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the urban landscape of that era. From high above, we are granted a bird's-eye view of a bustling cityscape with its intricate network of rooftops stretching as far as the eye can see. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue; it invites us to explore every nook and cranny within this labyrinthine metropolis. The varying shapes and sizes of the rooftops create an intriguing visual tapestry against the backdrop of a cloudy sky. Whether it was Bayard or Talbot behind the lens, their mastery shines through in capturing not just buildings but also a sense of history frozen in time. Each rooftop tells its own story - witness to countless lives lived below. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded that photography has always been more than just capturing images; it is about preserving moments and sharing stories across generations. This photograph serves as both a window into our past and an invitation to contemplate how cities have evolved over time.
