EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a captivating glimpse into the ancient Christian history of Yugoslavia. The image features an intricately designed sarcophagus from Salona, a significant archaeological site in present-day Croatia. Captured by renowned German photographer Kurt Hielscher in the 1920s, this photograph is part of his collection that beautifully documents landscapes, architecture, and daily life across Europe. The sarcophagus depicted here is believed to have held the remains of early Christians during the Byzantine era. Its ornate carvings and delicate details are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its time. This particular print was included as an illustration in Hielscher's book "Jugoslavien, Slovenien, Kroatien, Dalmatien, Montenegro, Herzegowina, Bosnien Serbien" published by Ernst Wasmuth in 1926. As we gaze upon this nostalgic image captured almost a century ago, we are transported back to a time when Yugoslavia was still intact and thriving. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that once flourished within these lands. This print not only offers us a visual feast but also invites us to delve deeper into history and appreciate the beauty that lies within ancient artifacts like this Christian sarcophagus from Salona. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and an important historical artifact worth preserving for generations to come.
