Caption

General view from the Stojanska bell tower; photograph, 1912; photographer Jan Bulhak 1876–1950; city panorama of Vilnius; photographic print: 11.0 × 15.7 cm; album page: 31.0 × 23.5 cm., A hazy cityscape fills the image, with a skyline of rooftops and spires receding into mist under a broad, cloud-filled sky. The foreground shows a dense cluster of buildings with pitched and flat roofs in darker shades, while a pointed tower and several domed and cupola-like structures rise above the nearer rooftops. Midground and background layers of buildings fade into lighter, more muted tones through the haze, creating a sense of depth. The sky occupies a large portion of the frame with textured, streaky clouds. Visible colors include shades of gray, muted brown, and creamy off-white around the image border.
