EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the Stage of the Greek Theatre in Taormina, Sicily, Italy, back in 1927. The talented artist Eugen Poppel beautifully captures this ancient architectural marvel with Mount Etna majestically looming in the background. Although commonly referred to as the Greek Theatre, these ruins are actually remnants of a Roman theatre constructed during the 2nd century BC on top of an earlier Greek structure. The image showcases the grandeur and scale of this historic site, highlighting its significance as a cultural landmark. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing its historical context. It is fascinating to see how nature and human ingenuity intertwine in this composition – with Mount Etna's imposing presence juxtaposed against man-made ruins. Taormina's location on Sicily's picturesque coast adds to its allure, making it an ideal destination for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. This print not only serves as a visual record but also evokes a sense of wonder about our rich past. As we delve into this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are reminded that even amidst change and progress over time, there are enduring elements that connect us to our ancestors' legacy. This image invites us to explore ancient civilizations while appreciating their influence on contemporary society.
