EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to Brescia in 1890, a city steeped in rich history and cultural significance. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, but their lens captured the essence of this enchanting Italian city. Brescia, once one of Lombardy's wealthiest cities during the 16th century, is showcased here with its picturesque hilltop location. Nestled amidst the breathtaking backdrop of the Alps, it exudes an air of tranquility and charm. The rooftops adorned with terracotta tiles add a touch of warmth to the monochrome scene. The historical context surrounding Brescia adds depth to this visual narrative. In 1859, Italian troops conquered the city as part of Italy's unification process. This marked a significant turning point for Brescia as it became an integral part of the newly founded Kingdom of Italy. This print originates from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier in 1890. Ollier's work provides valuable insights into modern history and geography while capturing moments frozen in time through engravings like this one. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are transported back to a bygone era when Brescia stood at the crossroads between past glory and future promise—a testament to its enduring beauty and timeless allure that continues to captivate even today.
