EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the chief facade of the temple at Angkor-Wat, Cambodia, in 1895. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the grandeur and intricate details of this religious masterpiece. However, it also serves as a poignant reminder of its tragic past. Once a thriving symbol of Khmer civilization, this magnificent temple fell into ruin after being conquered by the Siamese in the 14th century. Its disrepair is evident in every step leading to its entrance, yet even in its dilapidated state, it exudes an aura of awe-inspiring beauty. Published as part of "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" by Elisee Reclus and Virtue & Co. , this engraving transports us back to a time when Angkor-Wat stood proudly amidst lush Cambodian landscapes. It offers us a glimpse into both history and religion - reminding us that even great empires can crumble under the weight of conquests. As we admire this monochrome image today, we are reminded not only of Angkor-Wat's ruined state but also of its significance as a cultural treasure for Cambodia. This print allows us to appreciate the architectural marvels that once graced this country's landscape while serving as an enduring testament to human resilience throughout centuries gone by.
