EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Assouan. Carrieres de Syene" by Felix Bonfils takes us on a visual journey to the ancient city of Assouan in Egypt. The image showcases the majestic quarries of Syene, beautifully captured through the lens of Bonfils' camera. The photograph transports us back to 1878 when it was taken, offering a glimpse into the timeless beauty and grandeur of this historical site. The use of albumen silver print adds a touch of elegance and depth to the image, highlighting every intricate detail with remarkable clarity. As we gaze at this mesmerizing scene, we are immersed in the rugged landscape surrounding these quarries. The towering cliffs rise proudly against an azure sky, their rough surfaces revealing centuries-old marks left behind by countless workers who once extracted stone from these very grounds. Bonfils masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the essence and atmosphere of this place. We can almost feel the heat radiating from sun-baked rocks as we imagine ourselves standing amidst those ancient ruins. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's enduring power. It reminds us that even in our modern world, there is much wisdom to be gained from reflecting upon history's marvels like Assouan's quarries - where artistry meets craftsmanship in perfect harmony with Mother Earth herself.
