EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "El Assasif Porte de Granit Rose No 2" by John Beasly Greene takes us back in time to the enchanting landscapes of Egypt in the mid-19th century. The image showcases a magnificent granite gate, bathed in a soft rose hue, standing proudly amidst the ancient ruins of El Assasif. John Beasly Greene, an American-born French photographer, captured this mesmerizing scene between 1853 and 1854 using a waxed paper negative with ink. The resulting salted paper print measures 23.3 x 30.2 cm (9 3/16 x 11 7/8 in. ), preserving every intricate detail of the architectural marvel before our eyes. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and grandeur as we are transported to an era when explorers like Greene ventured into distant lands to document their wonders for posterity. The play of light and shadow on the weathered stone creates an ethereal atmosphere that invites contemplation. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we can't help but imagine ourselves walking through those very gates, feeling the weight of history upon us. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's enduring beauty.
