EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to ancient Egypt. Captured by John Beasly Greene, an American-born photographer who was based in France during the mid-19th century, this image showcases the mesmerizing Temple Palms View Ruins Karnak. The scene is a testament to both Greene's artistic eye and his technical mastery of photography. Using a calotype negative process, he expertly captures the intricate details of the ruins against a backdrop of towering palm trees. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the temple ruins serving as a focal point amidst nature's lush beauty. Karnak, located near Luxor on the east bank of the Nile River, was one of ancient Egypt's most important religious centers. The grandeur and scale of these ruins are awe-inspiring even today, and through Greene's lens, we are transported into their midst. The salted paper print technique used here adds depth and texture to the image while lending it an ethereal quality that enhances its historical significance. This particular print measures 22.4 x 30 cm (8 13/16 x 11 13/16 inches), allowing for an immersive viewing experience. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both human ingenuity and nature's enduring presence throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even in ruinous decay, there is still immense beauty to be found within our world's ancient treasures
