EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. The image showcases the El-Habis area, specifically highlighting the magnificent Umm el-Biyara position and its relation to a Crusader castle. Dating back to 1920, this snapshot provides a glimpse into the rich history and architectural wonders of this extinct city. The photograph transports us to an era when Petra was still relatively unknown to the world, before it became one of Jordan's most iconic tourist destinations. The El-Habis area is beautifully captured, with its rugged terrain and towering cliffs serving as a dramatic backdrop for both natural beauty and man-made structures. The Umm el-Biyara position stands proudly amidst this breathtaking landscape, showcasing remnants of a Crusader castle that once stood as a testament to medieval fortification techniques. Its strategic location atop rocky heights offers commanding views over Petra, emphasizing its historical significance within the region. As we admire this remarkable image, we are reminded of how photography can transport us across time and space. It allows us to appreciate not only the physical grandeur of these ancient ruins but also their cultural importance in shaping our understanding of human civilization. Through this print from Liszt Collection, we are invited on an imaginary journey through history – exploring Petra's past while marveling at its enduring allure.
