EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frans Sellies takes us on a visual journey to the ancient city of Khiva in Uzbekistan. The image showcases the remarkable walls and gates that have stood as guardians of this historic place for centuries. As we gaze upon the photograph, we are transported to a world where tradition and tranquility coexist. The high angle view allows us to appreciate the grandeur of Itchan Kala, the heart of Khiva, which holds significant historical importance as it was the first site in Uzbekistan to be inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1991. The surrounding wall stands tall against a clear blue sky, symbolizing protection and resilience. The architecture is awe-inspiring, reflecting influences from both Central Asian and Chinese cultures due to its location along the Silk Road. Each gate tells stories of trade routes, cultural exchanges, and fortifications that once safeguarded this bustling town. As we immerse ourselves in this photograph's beauty, we can't help but marvel at how Sellies has captured not only an architectural masterpiece but also a glimpse into history itself. This print serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and invites us to explore new horizons through travel destinations like Khiva – where past meets present with grace and elegance.
