EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, specifically to the city of Alexandria. The image showcases the magnificent Pompey's Pillar, a towering monument that has stood for centuries as a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of this ancient civilization. Captured by Felix Bonfils, a renowned French photographer known for his exceptional skill in capturing landscapes and historical sites, this tinted albumen silver print transports us to 1877 when it was taken. Bonfils' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph; from the intricate carvings on the column itself to the subtle hues added through tinting techniques. The Colonne Pompee, or Pompey's Pillar as it is commonly referred to in English, stands tall against an azure sky. Its imposing presence dominates the frame while simultaneously evoking a sense of awe and wonder at its sheer size and beauty. This iconic landmark serves as a reminder of Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded that photography not only captures moments frozen in time but also allows us to travel through history without leaving our present surroundings. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate and celebrate humanity's past achievements while marveling at their enduring legacy.
