EDITORS COMMENTS
Spain: With the mantilla (b/w photo) captures the essence of Spanish culture in the early 20th century. This print, taken by renowned German photographer Kurt Hielscher, showcases a woman wearing a traditional mantilla. The mantilla, a lace veil worn over a high comb, was an iconic accessory for women in Spain during this time period. It symbolized elegance and femininity, often worn on special occasions or religious events. The photograph beautifully portrays the intricate details of the lace and highlights the gracefulness of its wearer. Hielscher's expertise in capturing cultural landscapes is evident in this image. His work often focused on architecture, landscapes, and daily life scenes from various countries around Europe. In this particular piece, he successfully encapsulates both the beauty of Spanish fashion and its rich history. This print is part of Hielscher's larger body of work featured in Das Unbekannte Spanien (The Unknown Spain), published by Ernst Wasmuth in 1925. The gravure printing technique used adds depth to the image and enhances its artistic quality. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a visual time capsule that transports us back to 1920s Spain - an era defined by tradition, elegance, and cultural pride.
