EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the majestic Ramesseum in Thebes. Captured by John Beasly Greene, an American photographer born in France, between 1854 and 1855, this image showcases his exceptional talent and dedication to preserving historical landmarks. The Ramesseum, a mortuary temple dedicated to Pharaoh Ramesses II, stands tall and proud against the backdrop of the ancient city. Its grandeur is beautifully captured through Greene's lens, with intricate details visible even from a distance. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the architectural marvels that have stood for centuries. Printed using salted paper from a Calotype negative technique popular at that time, this photograph measures 21.7 x 30 cm (8 9/16 x 11 13/16 inches). It serves as a testament to both Greene's technical prowess and his passion for documenting Egypt's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved on paper, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us. It is through these visual records that we can appreciate their achievements and immerse ourselves in their world. This print not only captures an iconic monument but also invites us on a journey through time - one filled with wonderment and awe-inspiring beauty.
