EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Carthage. The image showcases the haunting beauty of the ruins of the theatre, a testament to the rich history that once thrived within these walls. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this photograph is part of a private collection. It was later featured as an illustration for "Picturesque North Africa" a publication from c. 1925. The original gravure-printed image was first published by Ernst Wasmuth in Berlin and credits Lehnert and Landrock, Cairo for its photographic expertise. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to this stunning composition, emphasizing every intricate detail etched into the weathered stones. As we gaze upon these remnants of an ancient civilization, we can't help but imagine the grandeur that once filled this space - echoing laughter, applause, and dramatic performances. This print captures not only Carthage's architectural marvels but also its significance as a historical landmark in North Africa. Its inclusion in "Picturesque North Africa" speaks volumes about its early recognition as a picturesque destination worth exploring. With no copyright restrictions attached to it anymore, this image allows us to appreciate and admire Carthage's ruins freely. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can now delve into history through this remarkable snapshot frozen in time.
