EDITORS COMMENTS
This albumen print, taken in 1867 by Felix Bonfils, transports us to the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria. The photograph showcases the remains of the Colonnade of the Temple of the Sun, a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of this once-thriving civilization. The image captures a sense of awe as we gaze upon these majestic columns that stretch into the sky. Standing tall against time's relentless march, they bear witness to centuries gone by and whisper stories from an era long past. The intricate details etched onto each column speak volumes about the artistry and craftsmanship that defined Arab civilization during this period. As we explore this archaeological site through Bonfils' lens, there is a haunting beauty in its desolation. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate both the scale and fragility of these ruins. We are reminded that history is not confined within textbooks but lives on through tangible remnants such as these. In today's world where conflicts have ravaged Palmyra and threatened its cultural heritage, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of what was lost and what must be preserved for future generations. It invites us to reflect on our responsibility towards safeguarding our shared human history. Bridgeman Images has graciously made this remarkable piece available for all to admire without commercial intent, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its historical significance and marvel at its artistic merit.
