EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Victorian era, specifically to Rome's Catacomb of Callixtus. The image showcases the historical significance of this burial ground, known for its connection to early Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church. The Catacombs of Rome were a network of underground tunnels used as burial sites during ancient times. Among them, the Catacomb of Callixtus stands out for housing the Crypt of the Popes. This crypt was once home to the tombs of several popes from the 2nd to 4th centuries. In this photograph, we are transported into one of these catacombs, where rows upon rows of graves can be seen stretching into darkness. The atmosphere is solemn and mysterious, evoking a sense of reverence for those who rest here. The image captures not only a place but also reflects on beliefs and faiths that have shaped history. It reminds us that within these walls lie stories untold - stories that connect us with our past and shed light on our present. John Short's skillful use of a magic lantern slide technique further enhances this historical ambiance. Through his lens, he invites us to explore an important part of Roman social history while reminding us how belief systems can transcend time and leave their mark on generations to come.
