EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the ancient city of Assouan, Egypt. The image showcases the ruins of the old Arab wall that once surrounded this southeastern part of town. Printed in 1853-54 using a salted paper technique and paper negative, this large-scale photograph measures an impressive 238 x 304 cm. The photographer, a talented French artist named Artokoloro (1817-1892), has expertly captured the essence of these historic ruins. The crumbling walls stand as silent witnesses to centuries gone by, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. One can almost imagine the bustling life that once thrived within these now dilapidated structures. The composition is striking, with intricate details visible even at such a grand scale. Every crack and crevice tells its own story, inviting viewers to explore further into Assouan's rich past. The play of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, enhancing our appreciation for both Artokoloro's artistic skill and his ability to capture history frozen in time. This remarkable piece serves as a testament not only to Assouan's historical significance but also to photography's power as a medium for preserving cultural heritage. It invites us on a visual journey through time while reminding us of our shared human history – one that deserves careful preservation and exploration for generations to come.
