EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the arid island of Patmos, Greece in 1926. The image is a part of the renowned book "An Outline of Christianity" from the first volume of "The Story of Our Civilisation" edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake, published by the Waverley Book Club in London. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a man riding on a donkey through the rocky terrain. The rider stands tall with an air of determination as he navigates his way through the ancient city walls. These weathered walls tell stories that span centuries, bearing witness to countless moments in history. As we delve into this scene, it becomes apparent that religion plays a significant role here. Patmos holds great religious significance as it is believed to be where Saint John wrote the biblical book of Revelation. This connection to Christianity adds another layer of depth to this already intriguing photograph. The monochrome aesthetic enhances our perception and transports us back to an era long gone. It allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Unknown (the creator) while highlighting the stark beauty found within these city walls. Through this single frame, we are reminded not only of Patmos' rich historical past but also its enduring spiritual legacy that continues to draw visitors from around the world today.
