EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Julia Waterlow transports us back in time to the ancient city of Alexandria, Egypt. Standing tall and proud is the magnificent Pompey's Pillar, a remarkable structure built in 297 AD from the remnants of the Temple of Serapis. This archaeological wonder showcases both exceptional architecture and rich historical significance. The pillar itself dominates the frame, reaching towards the heavens with its imposing presence. Its weathered surface tells tales of centuries gone by, each crack and crevice whispering secrets from a distant past. The intricate details carved into its stone are a testament to human craftsmanship at its finest. As we gaze upon this image, our minds wander through history as if walking among those who once roamed these ancient streets. We can almost hear echoes of conversations that took place here thousands of years ago - philosophers discussing ideas, traders haggling over goods, and worshippers seeking solace within sacred walls. Julia Waterlow's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the cultural significance behind this architectural marvel. It serves as a reminder that even amidst ruins, there is an enduring legacy that connects us to our ancestors. This photograph invites us to delve into Egypt's rich heritage and sparks curiosity about what other wonders lie hidden beneath layers of time. It reminds us that history has much to teach us if we take a moment to listen closely and let ourselves be transported across centuries in just one glance.
