EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling harbour of Montevideo, Uruguay. The image showcases the elegant office of the harbour master, beautifully captured through a drawing by M. d Hastrel. This illustration was originally created to illustrate the voyage to South America in 1823 by Giovanni Mastai Ferretti, who would later become known as Pius IX. The engraving featured here is from "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" a renowned travel journal published in Paris in 1860. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the architectural grandeur of Montevideo during that era. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to the scene. From the intricately designed windows and doors to the majestic columns adorning its facade, this building exudes an air of authority and importance. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when ships sailed these waters and trade flourished within these walls. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over centuries but still retain their unique charm. This print from Leonard de Selva's private collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also offers us an opportunity for reflection on our shared human history.
