EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling riverfront of Asuncion, Paraguay in 1911. The focal point of the image is a magnificent river steamer docked at the Customs House, exuding an air of grandeur against the backdrop of South American architecture. The steamship stands proudly on the tranquil waters of River Paraguay, symbolizing both progress and adventure. Surrounded by other boats and ships, this impressive vessel showcases the importance of water transport during that era. Its monochrome depiction adds a touch of nostalgia, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and design details that were prevalent in early 20th-century transportation. The Customs House itself stands as a testament to Paraguay's rich history and geographical significance. Located on a quayside along River Paraguay's bank, it served as a vital hub for trade and commerce between continents. This print offers us a glimpse into daily life at this vibrant port city where goods from around the world arrived by ship. Preserved through time thanks to Alexander K MacDonald's work in "Picturesque Paraguay" this image invites us to explore not only its visual beauty but also its historical context. It serves as a reminder of how transportation played an essential role in shaping societies across different parts of our planet.
