EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient ruins of Mitla, Oaxaca, Mexico. Captured by photographer Desire Charnay in 1852, it showcases the grandeur of the great hall within the Zapotec ruins. The image transports us to a world where history and archaeology intertwine. The photograph reveals an exterior view of the magnificent structure, highlighting its intricate details and architectural beauty. The imposing columns stand tall against the backdrop of a clear midday sky, showcasing their remarkable craftsmanship. Each column tells a story of an ancient civilization that once thrived in this very spot. Mitla is known for its significance as one of Mesoamerica's most important archaeological sites. This picture captures not only its physical remains but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Latin America. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and artistic prowess of indigenous peoples who inhabited these lands centuries ago. As we admire this mesmerizing image, let us appreciate both Charnay's skillful photography and our ability to witness such historical treasures from afar. This print allows us to connect with our past while reminding us that there is still much more waiting to be discovered beneath layers of time at Mitla and other archaeological wonders across Mexico and Central America.
