EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the haunting beauty of a statue of Rameses II lying in a desolate city, just as Jeremiah prophesied it would be without inhabitants. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image exudes an air of mystery and melancholy, with the ancient statue standing tall amidst crumbling ruins. The intricate details carved into the stone are still visible despite the passage of time, serving as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we cannot help but ponder on the transience of human existence and marvel at how civilizations rise and fall. The juxtaposition between the once-great city that now lies abandoned and forgotten, and the enduring presence of Rameses II's statue creates a powerful visual narrative. This photograph was originally used as an illustration for "Early Footsteps of The Man of Galilee" by Hammond in 1894. Its inclusion in this publication suggests that it served to evoke contemplation about historical cycles and perhaps even divine intervention. Through this thought-provoking image, we are reminded not only of our own impermanence but also our ability to leave lasting legacies that transcend generations. It invites us to reflect on what remains when all else fades away – artistry preserved through photography capturing moments lost to time.
