EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tomb of Cyrus II, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, taken in 1890. The limestone tomb is located in Pasargadae, his capital city in Fars, Iran. This remarkable historical site has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The image captures the grandeur and majesty of this ancient mausoleum set against a stunning landscape. The unknown creator skillfully engraved every intricate detail of the tomb's exterior, emphasizing its significance in Persian history. In this monochrome depiction, a lone man stands near the entrance of the tomb, adding scale to its immense size and evoking a sense of reverence for Cyrus II's legacy. His presence reminds us that even after centuries have passed since his reign, people continue to be drawn to this historic location. The print originates from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" an esteemed book by Edmund Ollier published in 1890. It serves as both an educational resource and a testament to human fascination with ancient civilizations. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported back to a time when Cyrus II ruled over Persia with unmatched power and influence. This photograph not only preserves history but also invites us to contemplate our own place within it.
