EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1972, capturing the essence of Bam, a historic town located in Iran's Middle East region. The image transports us to an outdoor archaeological site where the remnants of a majestic fort stand tall against the test of time. The vertical composition allows our eyes to wander through layers of history and contemplate the stories that this place holds within its ancient walls. The color image beautifully showcases the warm hues of this old ruin, reminding us of its once vibrant past. Bam Citadel, as it is known today, was a thriving city on the Silk Road trade route for centuries. Its strategic location made it an important hub for commerce and cultural exchange between different civilizations. However, tragedy struck in 2003 when a devastating earthquake reduced much of this historical gem to ruins. Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures both the grandeur and fragility inherent in such archaeological sites. This print serves as a reminder not only of Bam's rich heritage but also highlights humanity's ability to rebuild and preserve our shared history. Whether you are an avid traveler or simply appreciate glimpses into bygone eras, this photograph invites you on a visual journey through time and space – offering insight into one of Iran's most significant travel destinations while honoring its remarkable past.
