EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of The Parthenon, an ancient temple located on the Athenian Acropolis in Greece. Dating back to the 5th century BC, The Parthenon is a prime example of Doric architecture and is considered a symbol of ancient Greek civilization. The image, taken circa 1860, was captured during the 160-year period when the Parthenon was still in a relatively ruined state. The pediment and entablature are adorned with intricate triglyphs and metopes, which were carved with various mythological scenes. The Doric columns, with their distinctive fluting and simple capitals, stand tall and proud despite the passage of time. The sepia tones of this albumen print add to the sense of heritage and history, transporting us back to a time when the Parthenon was a marvel of the ancient world. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical sites and cultural heritage for future generations. The Parthenon has undergone extensive restoration efforts in recent decades, but this photograph offers a unique glimpse into its past, showcasing its ruins in all their glory. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of ancient Greek civilization and the continued fascination it holds for people around the world.
