EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the ancient city of Baalbeck in Syria. Captured by Maxime Du Camp and Louis Desire Blanquart-Evrard, this image showcases the magnificent Colonnade du Temple du Soleil (Temple of the Sun) in all its grandeur. The imposing colonnade stands tall against a clear blue sky, with each intricately carved column telling stories of a glorious past. The photographers skillfully captured the details and textures of these weathered pillars, emphasizing their timeless beauty. Dating back to September 15,1850, when this negative was taken, it is remarkable how well-preserved this salted paper print appears even after more than a century. Measuring at 16.7 x 21.9 cm (6 9/16 x 8 5/8 inches), it allows us to admire every architectural nuance and appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such an awe-inspiring structure. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten—a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression throughout history. It serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient civilizations and invites us to explore their rich cultural heritage.
