EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Jerusalem, Escalier arabe de Sainte-Marie-la-Grande, 1854" transports us back to the enchanting streets of Jerusalem in the 19th century. Created by Auguste Salzmann, a renowned French photographer and archaeologist, this image captures the architectural marvels of the Arab staircase leading up to St. Mary's Church. The photograph showcases the intricate details of this ancient structure with remarkable clarity. The salted paper print technique used by Salzmann adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this scene, our imagination takes flight as we envision pilgrims ascending these very steps centuries ago. Set against the backdrop of Jerusalem's rich heritage and religious importance, this photograph serves as a window into both history and spirituality. It offers a glimpse into a time when Christianity thrived in this holy land and St. Mary's Church stood as an emblematic symbol of faith. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection today, Salzmann's work continues to inspire awe and fascination for viewers from around the world. This particular piece not only highlights his exceptional talent but also provides valuable insights into archaeological sites in Palestine during that era. As we admire this stunning composition captured over 150 years ago by Auguste Salzmann’s lens, it reminds us of how photography can transcend time itself - immortalizing moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
