EDITORS COMMENTS
Tombe Du St. Jacquesch De... #309, printed c.1870, is an evocative albumen print by the renowned 19th-century photographer Felix Bonfils. This monochrome image captures the hauntingly beautiful and historic Tombeau de saint Jacques et de Zacharie, or the Tomb of Saint Jacques and Zacharie, located in Palestine. The print, which dates back to the 1870s, offers a glimpse into the past and the rich cultural heritage of the region. The photograph showcases the intricately designed mausoleum, with its ornate arches, intricate carvings, and weathered stone. The site, bathed in the soft, natural light of the Middle Eastern sun, exudes an air of tranquility and reverence. The tomb, named after Saint Jacques and Zacharias, two revered biblical figures, has long been a pilgrimage site for those seeking spiritual enlightenment and connection to their religious heritage. The image, taken by Felix Bonfils during his travels through the Middle East, is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to distant lands and transport us through time. The black and white composition adds to the image's timeless quality, allowing the viewer to focus on the essential elements of the scene - the beauty of the tomb and the significance of its history. Today, this photograph is part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the role that art and photography play in documenting and sharing the stories of the past.
