EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Evening View Golden Gate Pacific Female College" transports us back in time to the late 19th century. Taken between 1865 and 1870 by renowned photographers Lawrence & Houseworth, this albumen silver print captures a breathtaking evening view of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge from the Pacific Female College in Oakland, Alameda County. The image showcases a serene and tranquil scene as dusk settles over the landscape. The warm golden hues of the setting sun cast a soft glow on the bridge's towering structure, creating an ethereal atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and peaceful. The composition beautifully juxtaposes nature with man-made architecture, highlighting the harmonious coexistence between land and sea. What makes this photograph even more remarkable is its historical significance. It provides us with a glimpse into Oakland's past when it was home to one of California's first women's colleges – Pacific Female College. This educational institution played an essential role in empowering young women during a time when gender equality was still far from being realized. As we admire this exceptional piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its ability to transport us through time and connect us with moments long gone.
