EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, capturing the ruins of an Ahom temple in Dinajpur, Upper Assam, India. The artist behind this mesmerizing piece is Armand Kohl, who skillfully portrays the overgrown beauty of nature reclaiming its space. The image showcases a magnificent tree standing tall amidst the crumbling walls of the ancient temple. Its branches reach out towards the heavens as if trying to touch divinity itself. The monochrome tones add a sense of timelessness and mystery to this enchanting scene. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a bygone era when religion played a significant role in shaping societies. The ruins serve as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and how even grand structures can succumb to nature's relentless embrace. This artwork was featured in "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" written by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London during that same year. Through their collaboration, Kohl and Reclus bring forth not only an artistic masterpiece but also provide valuable insights into different cultures across continents. In this particular photograph, they shed light on India's rich religious heritage while highlighting the resilience of nature against human endeavors. It serves as both a historical document and an aesthetic delight for those who appreciate artistry intertwined with cultural exploration.
