EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Jerusalem in 1854. Taken by the talented French photographer Auguste Salzmann, this image showcases the remarkable Birket-es-Soutlan, a significant archaeological site that holds centuries of history within its walls. The photograph captures the essence of this ancient walled city, with its majestic city walls standing tall against the backdrop of a serene landscape. The monochrome tones add an air of timelessness to the scene, emphasizing both the architectural beauty and historical significance of Jerusalem. Salzmann's expert use of salted paper print photography technique brings out intricate details in every corner. From afar, we can see how these sturdy town walls have protected generations throughout centuries past. This image serves as a testament to their enduring strength and resilience. As we gaze upon this piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported into another era - a glimpse into life in 19th century Palestine. It is not just a photograph; it is a window into our shared heritage and cultural legacy. Auguste Salzmann's work continues to inspire awe and admiration for his ability to capture such profound moments in time through his lens. This particular print stands as an artistic homage to Jerusalem's rich history and serves as a reminder that even amidst change, some things remain constant – like the timeless allure of this holy land known as Zion.
