EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Short/Robert Harding takes us on a journey through time, transporting us to the ancient city of Ephesus in Anatolia, Turkey. Standing proudly in the frame is The Celsus Library, an architectural marvel that once housed thousands of precious scrolls and manuscripts. The library's grandeur and intricate design are awe-inspiring. Its towering facade showcases exquisite details, with statues representing wisdom (Sophia), knowledge (Episteme), intelligence (Ennoia), and virtue (Arete) adorning its entrance. This magnificent structure serves as a testament to the advanced civilization that thrived here centuries ago. As we gaze upon this outdoor archaeological wonder, we can't help but imagine the bustling activity that once filled these grounds. Scholars from far and wide would gather within these walls to study and exchange ideas, making this library not only a repository of knowledge but also a vibrant hub for intellectual discourse. Today, although reduced to ruins over time, The Celsus Library continues to captivate visitors from around the globe who come seeking glimpses into our shared human history. It stands as a reminder of the ingenuity and cultural richness of ancient civilizations. Through this remarkable photograph captured by Michael Short/Robert Harding, we are transported back in time - allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of this historical site and its significance in shaping our understanding of ancient Asia Minor.
