EDITORS COMMENTS
Riga, the largest city in Latvia and the cultural heart of the Baltic region, is depicted in this evocative photograph taken in Sandstrasse, a historic district, in the year 1912. The image captures the cityscape at dusk, with the moon beginning to rise above the rooftops, casting a gentle glow over the cobblestone streets. The lighting of the gas lamps and the warm hues of the buildings add to the magical atmosphere of the evening. The photograph, taken in the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, wooden houses, and a simpler way of life. The scene is reminiscent of a painting, with the intricate details of the rooftops, the play of light and shadow, and the sense of peace and tranquility that pervades the image. Sandstrasse, with its narrow streets and charming architecture, has long been a favorite destination for visitors to Riga, and this photograph serves as a beautiful reminder of its timeless allure.
