1872 Capital Daily Fountain Puerta Pump Streetlamp
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant and bustling Puerta del Sol in Madrid, Spain, in the early 1870s as depicted in this beautifully colored engraving. The Puerta del Sol, or 'Gate of the Sun,' is the central and most iconic square in the Spanish capital, serving as the hub of daily life and a meeting place for locals and travelers alike. At the heart of the scene, a grand fountain adorned with intricate sculptures and a large jet of water, providing refreshment to the thirsty crowds. Surrounding the fountain, a lively atmosphere is evident with horse-drawn carriages making their way through the cobblestone streets, their clopping hooves echoing through the square. People of all walks of life can be seen going about their day, from market vendors selling fresh produce to well-dressed individuals strolling along the streets, while street lamps cast a warm glow over the scene as the sun begins to set. The Puerta del Sol is also home to several notable buildings, including the impressive clock tower and the Royal Post Office, which can be seen in the background of the engraving. This enchanting image offers a glimpse into the rich history and daily life of Madrid during the 19th century, making it a must-see for anyone with an interest in Spanish culture and history.
