EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, offering a glimpse into the ruins of the basilica at Pergamon, Turkey. The image is an engraving from "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" written by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London. The scene depicts a century-old building that once stood tall but now lies in ruins, serving as a poignant reminder of its former grandeur. Located in Bergama, Asia Minor (now modern-day Turkey), this ancient basilica showcases intricate architectural details that have withstood the test of time. As we explore this monochrome photograph, our eyes are drawn to the delicate engravings on the walls and columns that speak volumes about the craftsmanship of its creators. The composition evokes a sense of awe as we imagine what life must have been like during its heyday. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing Anatolia's rich heritage. It transports us to another era, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and fragility of human creations. Thanks to Elisee Reclus' meticulous documentation and Taylor's skilled photography or illustration work (the creator remains unknown), this print has become part of "The Print Collector" collection - preserving history for generations to come.
