EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant streets of Barcelona in 1952. The facade of the old cinema Windsor stands proudly, adorned with mesmerizing neon signs that advertise the film "Scaramouche". These luminous signs illuminate the night sky, creating a striking contrast against the darkness. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing not only a piece of cinematic history but also providing insights into Catalonia's past. As we gaze at this vertical composition, we can't help but wonder about the stories that unfolded within those walls. The Windsor cinema was an integral part of Barcelona's cultural landscape during this era. However, it is important to note that this photograph represents more than just entertainment; it serves as a reminder of Spain's complex political climate under Francoism. During these times, censorship and control were prevalent in all aspects of society, including movies. This particular advertisement for "Scaramouche" offers us a glimpse into how films were carefully selected and promoted during this period. Preserved in a private collection by Santiago Ortega, this unknown photographer has captured both the allure and mystery surrounding Barcelona's vanished landmarks. Through their lens, they have given us access to an intriguing chapter in Spanish history while celebrating the artistry behind neon signage and its ability to captivate audiences even decades later.
