EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Berne in 1887. The image showcases a mesmerizing part of the clock tower, known as Zytglogge, which dates all the way back to the 15th century. Crafted by an unknown creator, this intricate astronomical clock and bellworks have stood the test of time, becoming an iconic symbol of Swiss craftsmanship. The monochrome composition adds a touch of mystery and nostalgia to this snapshot from history. Shadows dance across the face of the clock, emphasizing its mechanical intricacy while creating an atmosphere that transports us to medieval times. The glass lantern slide used for printing further enhances this sense of darkness and secrecy surrounding such ancient technology. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, we can almost hear the rhythmic ticking and chiming that once filled Bern's streets. This musical mechanism not only served as a timekeeper but also represented Switzerland's rich cultural heritage. It is fascinating how something created centuries ago still captivates our imagination today. Despite being shrouded in anonymity, this photograph reminds us that even without knowing who crafted it or when exactly it was taken, art has a way of transcending time and connecting us with our past. Let this evocative print transport you through space and time as you marvel at both human ingenuity and nature's passage within one frame - truly a testament to our enduring fascination with clocks throughout history.
