EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Upper Egypt, Luxor at the foot of ancient Thebes is the village of Gurna" transports us to a bygone era in the heart of Egypt. Taken in 1983 by Azan Anna, this image captures the timeless beauty and rich history that permeates every corner of this enchanting land. The photograph showcases Luxor, a city steeped in antiquity and located at the foot of ancient Thebes. As our gaze wanders through its narrow streets and pastel-colored buildings, we are transported back to a time when pharaohs ruled over these lands with grandeur and splendor. In particular, our attention is drawn to the village of Gurna nestled within Upper Egypt's embrace. This humble settlement holds secrets untold as it stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions and customs that have shaped Egyptian culture. The composition exudes an air of mystery; shadows dance along weathered walls while vibrant bougainvilleas cascade from balconies above. Each element seems carefully placed to evoke emotions deep within our souls – curiosity, wonderment, and reverence for those who came before us. Azan Anna's masterful eye has captured not only a moment frozen in time but also an entire narrative waiting to be discovered. Through this photograph, we are reminded that even amidst modernization and progress, echoes from ancient civilizations can still be heard if one listens closely enough. As we contemplate this stunning visual masterpiece from Alinari's collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof - let us immerse ourselves fully into its story: one where history intertwines with everyday life against the backdrop of Upper Egypt's majestic landscape.
