EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Premier pylone Isis" by Felix Bonfils takes us back to the enchanting era of late 19th-century France. The image, captured in Alais around 1878, showcases Bonfils' mastery of albumen silver print technique, which adds a timeless quality to the photograph. The composition centers on a majestic ancient Egyptian obelisk known as "Isis" standing tall against an azure sky. Its weathered surface tells tales of centuries past and evokes a sense of awe and wonder. The intricate details carved into the stone are beautifully highlighted by the soft light that bathes them. Bonfils skillfully frames the obelisk with surrounding architectural elements, creating a harmonious balance between nature and human craftsmanship. The play of shadows cast by nearby structures adds depth and dimension to the scene, enhancing its visual appeal. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported to another time and place - one where history intertwines with artistry. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their lasting impact on our world today. Let this photograph be an invitation for contemplation; let it inspire curiosity about cultures long gone but not forgotten. May it serve as a testament to Félix Bonfils' talent in capturing moments frozen in time, allowing us glimpses into worlds beyond our own.
