EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The city was given to the flames, 1912" takes us back in time to a moment of great historical significance. The image depicts the aftermath of a long and brutal siege on the ancient city of Carthage in 1912 BC. As we gaze upon this scene, we witness the devastating consequences of war. In vivid color and detail, we see the once thriving city now reduced to ashes. Flames engulf every corner, casting an eerie glow that illuminates the destruction. It is as if time stands still as we observe soldiers standing amidst the ruins, their victorious expressions tinged with a sense of solemnity. This photograph captures not only the physical devastation but also conveys a deeper narrative about power struggles and conquests throughout history. It reminds us that even mighty empires can fall prey to warfare and its destructive forces. As our eyes wander through this image, it becomes evident that behind these crumbling walls lies a story of resilience and survival. The burning remnants symbolize both an end and a new beginning for Carthage—a testament to human endurance in times of adversity. Through this powerful visual representation captured by Mary MacGregor in her book "The Story of Rome" we are transported back to an era where civilizations clashed and cities fell. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past while urging us to reflect on how such events shape our present-day world.
