EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ruins of Thebes, an ancient city located in the Boeotia region of Greece. Dating back to Mycenaean times (1600-1100 BC), Thebes was once a powerful city-state that played a significant role in Greek history. The photograph captures the essence of this historic site, showcasing its grandeur even in its ruined state. The image is taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a book by Edmund Ollier published in 1890. It portrays the remnants of what was once a thriving civilization, with intricate engravings and architectural details still visible amidst the decay. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of Thebes' tumultuous past. In 480 BC, during Xerxes I's invasion, Thebes allied with Persians against their fellow Greeks. This decision marked a dark chapter for the city and left lasting scars on its reputation. The photo's monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery and nostalgia to the composition. Clouds loom overhead as if reflecting both the weathered nature of these ruins and the passage of time itself. Through this evocative image, we are transported to another era - one filled with ancient tales and forgotten stories waiting to be discovered among these crumbling walls. It serves as a poignant reminder that even after centuries have passed, echoes of our ancestors' lives can still be found etched into landscapes like these.
