EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Barcelona. Dockyards door and ascent to the wall of the sea,' is a captivating 19th-century drawing by the Catalan artist Georges Mosteyrin. The image offers a glimpse into Barcelona's rich history, showcasing the ancient Atarazanas dockyards and the ascent to the city walls. The scene begins at the massive, ornate dockyard doors, which served as the entrance to the bustling port. The doors, with their intricate ironwork and imposing size, evoke a sense of grandeur and importance. Beyond the doors, the winding staircase leading up to the city walls can be seen, providing a clear indication of the steep terrain that characterizes Barcelona. The walls themselves, which once protected the city from invaders, are depicted as a formidable fortification, with towering battlements and watchtowers. The sea lies below, shimmering under the moonlight, adding a sense of mystery and allure to the image. People can be seen making their way up the staircase, their lanterns illuminating the night. The drawing captures the essence of Barcelona's past, with its blend of contemporary architecture, traditional Catalan houses, and the ever-present sea. The Museum of City History in Barcelona is home to this beautiful drawing, which serves as a reminder of the city's rich and complex history. The image invites us to explore the stories of the past and to appreciate the beauty and resilience of this remarkable city.
