EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken around 1890, transports us back in time to the ancient archaeological site of Mitla in Mexico. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Waite, Photo from Alinari, we are immediately drawn to the haunting beauty of a landscape filled with ruins. The focal point of this photograph is an astonishing sight – a Christian church with its bell tower standing tall amidst the remnants of an ancient civilization. It stands as a testament to the coexistence and transformation that has occurred throughout history. This juxtaposition between Christianity and non-Christian religions within these sacred grounds adds another layer of intrigue to this already fascinating scene. Mitla itself was once a thriving necropolis, housing various sites, excavations, monuments, and complexes that speak volumes about its rich archaeological significance. The intricate structures and architectural marvels found here provide valuable insights into past civilizations' funerary practices and beliefs. As our eyes wander across the frame's edges, we can't help but appreciate how this photo captures not only the grandeur of Mitla's ruins but also showcases nature reclaiming its space. The surrounding landscape further enhances our understanding of how time has shaped both structure and place. This evocative image serves as a reminder that religious heritage transcends boundaries; it intertwines cultures while simultaneously preserving their unique identities. Through Waite's lens, we are invited to reflect on humanity's collective journey through time – one marked by faiths old and new.
