EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Alexandrette" is a remarkable work by the talented French photographer Felix Bonfils. Born in Alais, France in 1831 and passing away in 1885, Bonfils left behind a legacy of stunning images that captured the essence of his subjects with great finesse. Taken around 1878, this particular photograph showcases Bonfils' mastery of the albumen silver print technique. The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as it transports us to Alexandrette, a city located on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. The composition is strikingly beautiful; every detail meticulously captured by Bonfils' lens. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the scene while enhancing the rich textures present throughout. From the intricate architectural details to the delicate folds in clothing, each element tells its own story within this frozen moment in time. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to late 19th-century Alexandrette. We can almost feel the warm Mediterranean breeze against our skin and hear echoes of bustling streets filled with vibrant life. Bonfils' ability to capture not just physical appearances but also emotions makes this photograph truly exceptional. It serves as a testament to his skill as an artist who was able to freeze fleeting moments forever through his lens. This print is not only a visual delight but also an invaluable historical document that allows us glimpses into distant places and times long gone by.
