EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Volubilis, located in present-day Morocco. Taken in 1907 by the talented photographer Chouanard Henrie, this image captures the mesmerizing ruins that once stood as a testament to an extraordinary civilization. The Ruins of Volubilis showcase the remnants of a thriving Roman settlement from the 2nd century. The photograph beautifully depicts one of its most iconic features - the majestic Volubilis Arch. This arch stands tall and proud amidst a backdrop of crumbling structures, revealing glimpses into Africa's rich ancient history. Every detail within this artwork speaks volumes about the grandeur and sophistication that once characterized this remarkable city. From intricate carvings on stone pillars to weathered walls adorned with remnants of vibrant murals, these ruins are a treasure trove for archaeologists and history enthusiasts alike. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both beauty and melancholy simultaneously. It serves as a poignant reminder that civilizations rise and fall, leaving behind fragments for future generations to uncover and appreciate. Chouanard Henrie's masterful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in the allure of Volubilis' past glory while contemplating our own place within the continuum of human existence. Through his lens, he invites us on an archaeological journey through time – urging us to reflect on our shared heritage as inhabitants of this vast continent called Africa. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is also a window into an era long gone but never forgotten – an ode to Africa's ancient civilizations that continue to inspire awe and curiosity even today.
