EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the "Pyramide Artificielle Mitla Anciennement surmontee" in Oaxaca, Mexico. Taken by Desire Charnay, a renowned French photographer between 1862 and 1863, this albumen silver print beautifully captures the intricate details of this ancient structure. The Pyramide Artificielle was once adorned with a magnificent temple that stood proudly atop its summit. The photograph allows us to imagine the grandeur and architectural brilliance that characterized this historical site before time took its toll. Charnay's expertise behind the lens is evident in his ability to capture every fine line and texture of the pyramid. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing both its imposing presence and delicate craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when civilizations thrived on these lands. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to explore further into Mexico's fascinating past. This print is not just a mere depiction; it is an invitation for contemplation. It sparks curiosity about what life might have been like during those times, inspiring us to delve deeper into archaeological wonders that still stand today.
