EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the ancient city of Antioch in 1890. The image showcases the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the Old City Walls, standing as a testament to the rich history and grandeur of this once-thriving Hellenistic and Roman metropolis. The photograph, created by an unknown artist, captures the essence of antiquity with its monochrome palette. It is reminiscent of an engraving from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History Vol. II - Rome" a renowned book by Edmund Ollier that delves into the fascinating tales of ancient civilizations. Antioch, also known as Antakaya or Antiochia, was a significant city in Turkey during its heyday. Its strategic location made it a hub for trade and cultural exchange between East and West. However, time has taken its toll on these majestic walls, leaving behind only remnants that evoke both awe and melancholy. As we gaze upon this evocative scene, our imagination runs wild with stories from centuries past – tales of conquests, triumphs, and tragedies that unfolded within these very walls. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how history shapes our present landscape. With every crack in the stone and every vine creeping through crevices, we are reminded that even great empires eventually crumble under the weight of time. Yet their legacy lives on through art like this print which allows us to connect with our ancestors' world while contemplating our own place within
