EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Abyssinia, present-day Ethiopia, during the years 1867-1868. The image showcases the remarkable Chelikut Church, a place of worship that has stood as a testament to faith and architectural brilliance for centuries. The photograph itself is an albumen silver print, a technique popularized in the mid-19th century. This method involved coating paper with egg white (albumen) mixed with salt and sensitizing it with silver nitrate before exposing it to light. The result is a stunning monochromatic image that captures intricate details and textures. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, our eyes are drawn to the grandeur of Chelikut Church. Its towering walls rise majestically against the backdrop of an expansive sky. The intricate carvings adorning its façade tell stories of devotion and cultural heritage. The photographer's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and spiritual significance of this sacred space. We can almost imagine ourselves stepping into its hallowed halls, feeling a sense of awe wash over us as we take in every ornate detail. This print serves as a window into another era—a glimpse into Abyssinia's rich history and religious traditions. It reminds us of the power that photography holds in preserving moments frozen in time, allowing future generations to connect with their pasts.
