EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing site of Susa, taken in 1890 by an unknown creator. Susa, also known as Shushan, was an ancient city and capital of Elam nestled in the majestic Zagros Mountains. The photograph showcases the administrative capital of King Darius I from 522BC during the Achaemenian era. The image is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. I - Early and Greek History" written by Edmund Ollier in 1890. This historic book published by Cassell and Company Limited provides a glimpse into the rich heritage of this sixth-century BC city. In this engraving, we witness a monochrome landscape that stretches far beyond our imagination. The mountain range serves as a breathtaking backdrop to this ancient metropolis that once thrived with life and culture. Although devoid of color, the print exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. It transports us back in time to explore the ruins where history unfolded centuries ago. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost envision bustling streets filled with people going about their day amidst architectural marvels. This remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both the artistry captured within its frames and its historical significance for Iran's cultural heritage. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity against nature's grandeur—a reminder of how civilizations rise and fall but leave behind indelible imprints on our world's tapestry.
