EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Timgad. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the historical significance of Timgad, often referred to as the "African Pompeii". The photograph is part of a private collection and was featured in The Outline of the World To-Day edited by Sir Harry Johnston and Dr L Haden Guest around 1920. The picture captures a bustling high street scene, revealing glimpses into everyday life during that era. Roman legions can be seen marching proudly through the arch of Trajan, symbolizing their dominance over this magnificent city. The grandeur and architectural brilliance of Timgad are evident from its well-preserved buildings lining both sides of the street. As we gaze at this remarkable image, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates an early twentieth-century perspective on history. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout centuries past. This print allows us to delve into an era long gone yet preserved within these monochromatic tones. Bridgeman Images has done justice to this piece by capturing its essence without compromising its historical integrity. Let us appreciate this snapshot for what it truly represents – not just another commercial product but rather a window into our rich cultural heritage.
