EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken by Luigi Pesce in the 1850s, transports us back to the grandeur of Persepolis. The ancient city, located in Fars, Iran, was once the heart of the mighty Achaemenid Empire. As we gaze upon this remarkable albumen silver print from a paper negative, we are mesmerized by its intricate details.

It serves as a reminder that even amidst ruin and decay, beauty endures. As we contemplate this masterpiece captured over a century ago by an Italian photographer in distant lands, it sparks our imagination about what life must have been like during those times.
