EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Greek city of Apollonia, nestled along the picturesque coast of Cyrenaica in North Africa. Through the lens of photographer Horace Abrahams, we are transported to 1952 when these pillars and columns were all that remained of this once thriving civilization. The image captures the essence of classical ruins, showcasing a landscape format that perfectly frames the architectural features left behind by an ancient civilization. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth and mystery to this timeless scene. As we gaze upon these weathered pillars, it is impossible not to feel a sense of awe at their grandeur despite their current state. They stand as silent witnesses to a rich history filled with stories yet untold. Abrahams' skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the beauty and fragility inherent in ancient structures. Each pillar seems to whisper secrets from centuries past, inviting us to imagine what life was like during Apollonia's heyday. This photograph serves as a reminder that civilizations rise and fall, leaving only fragments behind for future generations to ponder. It is through images like this one that we can connect with our shared human heritage and marvel at the enduring power of architecture throughout history.
