EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the biblical story of Samson and Delilah. Taken in 1890 during a play performed in Germany, it showcases the powerful moment when Samson pulls down the pillars of the Temple of Dagon. The actor portraying Samson exudes strength and determination as he single-handedly brings destruction upon this sacred place. The elaborate costumes worn by both actors transport us back to ancient times, adding an authentic touch to this historical reenactment. The attention to detail is remarkable, highlighting the commitment and dedication put into bringing this Old Testament tale to life on stage. The significance of this event within Christianity and Judaism cannot be understated. It symbolizes not only Samson's ultimate sacrifice but also his triumph over his enemies through divine intervention. The image serves as a reminder of faith, power, and consequences. Preserved for over a century, this photograph allows us to witness a pivotal moment in theater history at the turn of the century. Its inclusion in Granger Art on Demand ensures that its artistic value endures for generations to come without commercial exploitation. Granger NYC / The Granger Collection has once again captured an iconic moment that transcends time and continues to inspire awe with its visual storytelling prowess.
