EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient ruins of Mugher in 1890. The creator remains unknown, but their lens beautifully captures the essence of history and architectural grandeur. These ruins belong to the Qasr Al Muwaqqar, an Umayyad desert palace located in the Al-Muwaqqar district of Amman, Jordan. The Umayyad Dynasty reigned as caliphs from 661 to 750 and left behind a remarkable legacy. This particular image is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a renowned publication by Edmund Ollier that delves into early Greek history. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported through time. The landscape showcases rolling hillsides surrounding the majestic fortress-like structure atop a hill. It's fascinating how these ruins have stood the test of time, bearing witness to centuries of human civilization. Intriguingly, amidst this historical backdrop, there are background figures adding depth and scale to the scene. A lone man stands near one of the ruined walls while another figure can be seen exploring further down below. This photograph serves as a window into our past—a reminder that even though civilizations may crumble over time, their remnants continue to captivate our imagination today. It invites us on a journey through both geographical features and cultural heritage—an invitation for exploration and appreciation for those who seek it.
