EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the majestic city of Palmyra in the late 19th century. The image captures the grandeur of the Entrance to The Great Colonnade, a magnificent Roman ornamental archway known as the Arch of Triumph or Arch of Septimius Severus. Taken by renowned French photographer Felix Bonfils, this albumen print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing architectural wonders. The intricate details of the arch's design are beautifully highlighted against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Palmyra, once an important hub along the Silk Road, was a thriving provincial capital within the Roman Empire. Its ruins stand as a testament to its rich history and cultural significance. Tragically, this particular archway met its demise in 2015 when it was destroyed during conflicts that ravaged Syria. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of Palmyra's ancient splendor but also of our responsibility to preserve and protect these precious archaeological treasures. Through Bonfils' lens, we can appreciate both the artistry and historical importance that lie within these ruins. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into Palmyra's past and marvel at its architectural brilliance while serving as a poignant reminder that even great monuments can be lost if not safeguarded for future generations.
