Fotografía Algeciras Vista General elevada. Landscapes of Spain Algeciras, the city,c 1950
Esta foto corresponde, según indica al dorso, a una vista general de la ciudad de Algeciras.
La foto se puede fechar hacia 1930-40. Por los toldos desplegados y el sol parece estar hecha en verano.
El punto de vista tan elevado me hace pensar que pudiera tratarse el campanario de una iglesia que se encuentra en una plaza.
- Si usted identifica el lugar desde donde se hizo esta foto y/o las calles o plazas que se ven, por favor, contacte conmigo.
La foto corresponde a un pequeño lote de la editorial Montaner y Simón de Barcelona, cuyas fotos se utilizaron muchas veces para libros escolares y enciclopedias
..............La editorial representa un buen ejemplo de concordia entre el arte y la industria, puesto que, sacando partido de la industrialización (con el uso de los nuevos sistemas de reproducción y mecanización de la imprenta tradicional), se buscan y se consiguen resultados esmerados, artísticos y de lujo. Entre sus publicaciones destacan obras monumentales en varios volúmenes, como la Historia general del arte, dirigida por Lluís Domènech i Montaner, la Biblioteca universal ilustrada, el Diccionario enciclopédico hispano-americano de ciencias, artes y literatura, una Geografía universal, y las revistas La ilustración artística y El salón de la moda..........................

La Montaner i Simon. Una editorial con historia
La Montaner i Simon es una de las editoriales más
importantes de Cataluña y del Estado español, sobre todo durante la
segunda mitad del siglo XIX y el primer tercio del siglo XX. A lo largo
de sus 120 años de existencia, elabora un extenso catálogo de
publicaciones de mucha calidad y con un gran alcance de distribución.
Con el cese de su actividad en 1981 se pierde o se dispersa gran parte
de la documentación y del material de la empresa.
Montaner i Vila (1832-1921) y Francesc Simon i Font
(1843-1923) fundan en 1861 una editorial que se convierte en poco
tiempo en la editorial de mayor envergadura de España, tanto por el
volumen de producción como por la calidad de sus publicaciones, y en la
principal exportadora a América, donde llega a acuerdos con empresas del
continente (en buena parte, propiedad de catalanes) para que actúen
como sucursales suyas
This corresponds, according to the back, to an overview of the city of Algeciras.
The photo can be dated to 1930-1940. Deployed by awnings and sun seems to be made in summer.
The point of view so high makes me think that it could be the steeple of a church that is located in a plaza.

The photograph is a small batch of Barcelona Montaner i Simon publishing house, whose pictures are often used for textbooks and encyclopedias
.............. The publisher is a good example of harmony between art and industry, since, taking advantage of industrialization (with the use of new reproductive systems and machining traditional) printing, are sought and painstaking, artistic and luxurious results are achieved. His publications include monumental multivolume works such as general art history, directed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, the illustrated Universal Library, the Hispanic-American encyclopedic dictionary of science, art and literature, a World Geography, and magazines the artistic illustration and fashion salon ..........................
