EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Jerusalem, Porte de Mograbins, 1854" transports us back to the enchanting city of Jerusalem in the 19th century. Created by the talented Auguste Salzmann, a French photographer renowned for his archaeological documentation, this image captures both the architectural beauty and historical significance of this ancient city. The photograph showcases the impressive city walls that surround Jerusalem, with a particular focus on the majestic Porte de Mograbins (also known as Mughrabi Gate). This entrance gate served as an important link between the outside world and Jerusalem's walled town. The intricate details of its construction are beautifully highlighted in this salted paper print. Salzmann's expertise in capturing landscapes is evident here as he skillfully frames Jerusalem against a backdrop of rolling hills. The composition perfectly balances light and shadow, enhancing our appreciation for both natural and man-made elements within this historic setting. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of heritage art from Auguste Salzmann's collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported to a time when Jerusalem was at once bustling with life yet steeped in history. It serves as a powerful reminder of how photography can preserve moments frozen in time while allowing us to explore distant lands and cultures from our own vantage point.
