EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, circa 1924. Known as "El Deir" or "the Monastery" this magnificent structure was actually a tomb rather than a religious site. The Nabataean kingdom, which ruled from 312 BC until its assimilation into the Roman Empire in 106 AD, left behind an architectural marvel that continues to awe visitors today. Petra's claim to fame lies in its remarkable buildings with intricate facades carved directly into the sandstone rock. This particular image showcases the grandeur of El Deir's exterior, nestled within the rugged cliffs and showcasing the mastery of ancient architecture. The vibrant colors captured in this print bring life to a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship and natural beauty surrounding this burial site. The sandstone cliff serves as an imposing backdrop for El Deir's entrance, evoking a sense of mystery and wonder. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported through time and space – standing at the intersection of history and artistry. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, Petra continues to captivate our imagination with its timeless allure.
