EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At the Craters Brink, Aso-San, 1910" transports us back to a moment in time when Herbert Ponting embarked on his journey through Japan. Taken from his book "In Lotus-Land Japan", this image captures the essence of adventure and curiosity that defined early 20th-century exploration. In the photograph, we see three brave individuals standing at the edge of an active volcano, Mount Aso. The man in the center leans forward with outstretched arms as if embracing both the beauty and danger that lie before him. On either side, two men hold hands, their expressions a mix of awe and trust in each other's presence. The monochrome composition adds depth to this breathtaking landscape; smoke billows from the crater creating an atmosphere filled with mystery and risk. It is evident that Ponting has skillfully captured not only a geographical feature but also a sense of human connection amidst nature's grandeur. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we are reminded of our own desire for exploration and discovery. This photograph serves as a testament to mankind's unwavering spirit to push boundaries despite potential dangers. Through Ponting's lens, we are transported to Japan's Kyushu region where mountains rise steeply towards the heavens while simultaneously grounding us in our shared humanity. This print is not just an artistic representation but also a historical artifact that allows us to delve into another era – one where literature intertwined
