EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-S-001133-0007" captured by Fiorillo, we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. The image showcases a remarkable sight - the Obelisk of Heliopolis in Cairo. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, this ancient obelisk is a testament to Egypt's rich history and architectural prowess. The photograph was taken between 1880 and 1890, during an era when communication relied heavily on writing as a means of conveying messages across vast distances. This scene serves as a reminder of how far humanity has come in terms of communication technology. As we gaze at the photo, our eyes are drawn not only to the magnificent obelisk but also to its surroundings. Lush vegetation surrounds it, with trees providing shade and adding depth to the composition. The juxtaposition of nature's beauty against man-made structures creates an intriguing contrast. This particular obelisk holds great significance as it stands as both a commemorative structure and an archaeological treasure. Its presence evokes curiosity about past civilizations that once thrived in this very location. It serves as a tangible link connecting us to those who came before us. Fiorillo's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical monument - from its weathered surface reflecting centuries gone by, down to each carefully carved hieroglyphic symbol adorning its sides. Through Alinari's lens, we are granted access to moments frozen in time – moments that allow us glimpses into different eras and cultures. This extraordinary photograph invites contemplation on our shared human heritage while reminding us that even amidst modern advancements, there will always be value in preserving relics from our past for generations yet unborn.
