EDITORS COMMENTS
La Tour Magne of Nimes, a remarkable archaeological site and a testament to the rich history of France, is captured in this stunning black and white albumen print by Edouard Baldus, created around the 1850s. The image transports us back in time, showcasing the ancient Roman tower standing proudly against the backdrop of the picturesque French countryside. The first century AD structure, located in Nimes, Gard Languedoc Roussillon, France, is a significant archaeological find, with its origins dating back to the Roman Empire. The tower, also known as the Magne Tower or the Tower of Magne, served as a defensive fortification during ancient times. Baldus, a renowned French photographer of the nineteenth century, expertly captured the essence of this historic site, highlighting its grandeur and the intricate details of its ancient stones. The image, which is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to the world of heritage art and archaeology. The photograph, with its stark contrasts and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this ancient structure. The image is a reminder of the rich history that lies within the walls of Nimes and the importance of preserving and documenting our cultural heritage.
