EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the rugged landscapes of Gebel-Abousir, Egypt. Titled "Etude de terrain pre de Gebel Abousir 2de cataracte" it was captured by John Beasly Greene, an American-born French photographer who lived a tragically short life from 1832 to 1856. The image showcases Greene's mastery of his craft, as he skillfully employs the salted paper print technique from a waxed calotype negative. The result is a stunning composition that measures 23.5 x 29.8 cm and transports viewers into the heart of this ancient land. Gebel-Abousir itself stands majestically in the background, its rocky cliffs reaching towards the sky with an air of timeless grandeur. The foreground reveals intricate details of the terrain, meticulously studied by Greene during his exploration here between 1853 and 1854. As we gaze upon this piece, we can almost feel ourselves standing beside Greene as he captures every nuance and texture with his lens. It serves as a testament to both his technical prowess and artistic vision. This print offers us a glimpse into history; it invites us to contemplate not only the beauty of this particular landscape but also our own connection to distant places and times. Let it transport you on a visual journey through Egypt's remarkable past while honoring John Beasly Greene's enduring legacy as one of photography's early
