EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to January 1906, capturing a serene moment at the tomb of Sultan Barquq in Cairo, Egypt. The image showcases a man deep in prayer, his devotion palpable as he stands before the magnificent Sultan Faraj ibn Barquq funerary complex within the Northern Cemetery. Photographed around 1890 by Art. G. Lekegian and Co. , this stunning piece was printed using matte collodion printing-out paper (p. o. p. ) approximately sixteen years later. The title is derived from the caption found within the negative itself, providing historical context to this remarkable snapshot. The travel albums of Paul Fleury serve as an invaluable record of his journeys across Switzerland, the Middle East, India, Asia, and South America. This particular photograph transports viewers to Egypt's lower region (Basse Egypte), where they can immerse themselves in its rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this evocative scene frozen in time, we are reminded of both our own mortality and humanity's enduring quest for spiritual connection. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst grand structures like tombs and complexes dedicated to great rulers of olden times, it is individuals who bring life and meaning through their faith. This print encapsulates not only a specific moment but also invites us into a deeper contemplation about history's impact on our present-day lives.
