EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Roman city of Tipasa in Algeria. The image showcases an extraordinary sight - an old oil press standing proudly at the entrance of the magnificent amphitheatre. With a backdrop of clear blue skies, this snapshot captures both the beauty and historical significance of this remarkable location. The remnants of this ancient oil press serve as a reminder of the thriving commodity trade that once took place within these stone walls. It is fascinating to imagine how this very spot was once bustling with activity, as olives were pressed to extract precious oil for various purposes. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a different era, where entertainment and food production intertwined seamlessly. The amphitheatre itself stands tall in all its glory, hinting at grand spectacles and lively gatherings that must have taken place here centuries ago. The juxtaposition between then and now is striking; it allows us to appreciate the enduring nature of these ruins while marveling at their former splendor. Thanks to EMD/Then and Now Images/Heritage Images' skilled lensmanship, we can witness history come alive through this single frame. This print serves as a testament not only to Algeria's rich cultural heritage but also reminds us of our shared human history. It invites viewers on a visual journey through time, offering glimpses into civilizations long gone yet forever etched into our collective memory.
