EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-S-003556-0004" transports us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century. The image showcases the magnificent Eritrean Church of Debarroa, standing proudly amidst a breathtaking landscape adorned with enormous cactus plants. Located south of Asmara, this town is nestled in the picturesque valley of the Mareb River – one of Eritrea's most significant waterways. The church itself exudes an air of tranquility and spirituality. Its architectural beauty is evident even from afar, with intricate details that reflect its Christian heritage. This religious structure stands as a testament to the deep-rooted faith and devotion prevalent in this region during that era. Surrounding the church are towering cactus plants, their presence adding a unique touch to this already mesmerizing scene. These succulent giants create a striking contrast against the backdrop of blue skies and lush vegetation. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unknown but has skillfully captured not only the physical elements but also the essence of this place frozen in time. Through their lens, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into history and experiencing firsthand what life was like over a century ago. As we admire this historical gem from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us across continents and centuries. It serves as a reminder that architecture, nature, religion, and culture intertwine harmoniously within our world – creating moments worth preserving for generations to come.
