EDITORS COMMENTS
This color print takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing the majestic Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, Turkey. The photograph, taken between 1933 and 1934 by William Harold Oakley for the publication "Wonders of the Past" showcases the remarkable architecture and religious significance of this ancient city. Standing proudly amidst a lush landscape, the temple's ornate columns and pillars evoke a sense of grandeur and reverence. Each step leading up to its entrance holds centuries' worth of history, as countless devotees once climbed these very stairs to pay homage to their deity. The Temple of Artemis was dedicated to Diana, goddess of hunting and fertility in Roman mythology. Its existence dates back several centuries before Christ; however, it suffered destruction over time due to wars and natural disasters. Despite its ruins being visible today, this print allows us a glimpse into its former glory. Intriguingly, soldiers from various legions can be seen scattered around the temple's vicinity in this image. Their presence adds an element of mystique - were they there for protection or perhaps engaged in some form of ritualistic ceremony? As we admire this stunning snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship that went into constructing such an architectural marvel and our ability today to witness remnants from civilizations long past through photographs like these.
