EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1867, capturing the majestic Hadrian's Arch at the entrance to Jerash. The photograph was taken by Sergeant Henry Phillips, a talented photographer affiliated with the Palestine Exploration Fund in London. Hadrian's Arch, built around 129 AD, stands as a testament to honor Emperor Hadrian's visit to this ancient city. This triumphal arch served as the gateway into Jerash, inviting visitors into its rich history and classical architecture. Its weathered stone pillars and intricate carvings evoke a sense of grandeur that has withstood centuries of time. The image reveals an enchanting scene: ruins scattered across Transjordan serve as a backdrop for this magnificent archway. It is clear that even in its dilapidated state, Hadrian's Arch exudes power and triumph. Gerasa, once a thriving Roman city located in modern-day Jordan, comes alive through this photograph. The composition captures both the beauty of nature reclaiming these ancient structures and our fascination with their enduring legacy. Through Sergeant Henry Phillips' lens, we are transported to another era—a moment frozen in time where we can appreciate not only his skillful photography but also marvel at the splendor of ancient Rome preserved within these ruins.
