EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, offering a mesmerizing view of Quito and Mount Pichincha in Ecuador. The image, captured from La Loma De Poingasi, showcases the eastward perspective of this enchanting capital city nestled amidst the breathtaking South American landscape. The engraving is part of "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" a renowned publication authored by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London during that era. It serves as an invaluable historical document that allows us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the beauty of this region. In this monochrome masterpiece, we witness the harmonious coexistence between urban development and natural wonders. The towering Mount Pichincha majestically dominates the skyline, its rugged peaks reaching towards the heavens while providing a stunning backdrop for Quito's architectural splendor. As our eyes wander across this geographical feature, we are transported to a time when Ecuador's Sierra region was untouched by modernization. The countryside surrounding Quito exudes tranquility with its rolling hills and lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. This extraordinary photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites contemplation on how landscapes evolve over centuries. It reminds us of both nature's grandeur and humanity's ability to shape their surroundings. Thanks to unknown creator (s), Elisee Reclus' meticulous documentation, and Virtue & Co. 's dedication
