EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Angkor Thom, captured by a French photographer in 1912. The image showcases a mesmerizing bridge and doorway, serving as gateways into the ancient Khmer capital of Cambodia. The intricate architecture and detailed sculptures on display are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this region. The columns stand tall, adorned with stunning carvings that depict mythical creatures and divine beings. Among them is the famous Bayon temple, known for its numerous serene faces of Avalokitesvara. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into another era - an era where these temples were still being rediscovered and reconstructed after centuries of abandonment. It serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and resilience found within Cambodian history. Originally housed at Musee d'Ethnographie du Trocadero in Paris, France (also known as Musee Indochinois), this remarkable piece eventually found its way to Musee Guimet in 1931. Now preserved for all to admire, it continues to inspire awe and wonderment among those who appreciate both artistry and history. Let this evocative image transport you back through time as you explore the magnificent wonders of Angkor Thom's bridge and doorway – an indelible part of Cambodia's cultural legacy.
