Venice from Lido 1894

This evocative photogravure, "Venice from Lido," by James Craig Annan, showcases a picturesque view of Venice from the island of Lido. The photograph, taken in 1894, captures a single gondola gliding serenely across the water, with the city's skyline visible in the distance. The soft, muted tones of the photogravure process lend a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the stillness and tranquility of the water and the distant cityscape. This work exemplifies Annan's mastery of the photogravure technique and his penchant for capturing atmospheric landscapes.
