EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient city of Constantine in Algeria during the 1840s. The artist, C Lalaisse, beautifully captures the remnants of this once-thriving Roman city that was originally founded by the Phoenicians. The image showcases the remarkable archaeological site of Cirta, which was excavated by a French mission led by Major Delamare. As we gaze upon these ruins, we are transported to a time when this city flourished under Roman rule. The landscape is filled with awe-inspiring remnants of an illustrious past - crumbling columns, weathered arches, and intricate stone carvings that stand as testaments to the grandeur that once graced this North African region. Lalaisse's monochrome engraving skillfully highlights every detail of these ancient ruins against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition. As we admire this print, we can't help but feel a sense of wonder at how civilizations rise and fall throughout history. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and invites us to explore further into Algeria's rich historical tapestry. This photograph from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both Lalaisse's artistic talent and Major Delamare's important scientific exploration in preserving Algeria's ancient treasures for generations to come.
