EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the majestic Emperor Valens Aqueduct near Pyrgo, Turkey. The image showcases a group of travellers and their horses standing in awe before this remarkable architectural marvel. The aqueduct, built during the reign of Emperor Valens in the late 4th century AD, stands as a testament to ancient engineering prowess. Its grand arches stretch across the landscape, carrying water from distant sources to supply cities and settlements with this precious resource. In this photograph by R. Wallis, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages were still a common mode of transportation. The presence of these elegant animals adds an element of liveliness and movement to the scene. The composition captures both the scale and intricate details of this historical structure. Each stone seems to tell its own story, weathered by time yet still standing strong against nature's forces. As we gaze upon this image from Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we can't help but be reminded of humanity's ability to create enduring works that transcend generations. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our fascination with history continues unabated – drawing us closer to understanding our past while appreciating the beauty that lies within it.
