EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1922, capturing the majestic beauty of The Theseum at Athens, Greece. Standing proudly on top of Agoraios Kolonos hill, this Doric order peripteral temple is a true testament to ancient Greek architecture. Also known as the Temple of Hephaestos and Athena Ergane, or Hephaisteion/Theseion for short, it served as the Greek Orthodox church of St. George Akamates for over a thousand years until 1834. The temple's grandeur is emphasized by its imposing columns and intricate design. The image showcases not only the architectural brilliance but also provides glimpses into daily life during that era. A man with his cart can be seen traversing the road near this religious site, reminding us that even amidst such historical significance, life continues to move forward. As we admire this photograph today, we are transported back in time to witness both artistry and religion merging harmoniously in one frame. The presence of deity figures like Hephaestus and Athena adds an ethereal touch to an already awe-inspiring scene. Keystone artistically captures this momentous landmark while J. A Hammerton's contribution ensures that future generations can appreciate its magnificence through their print collection. This monochrome masterpiece serves as a reminder of Greece's rich cultural heritage and stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history.
