1837 1877 Hooper Willoughby Wallace Forsaken
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Forsaken" captures the essence of melancholy and solitude in a mesmerizing manner. Taken by the talented English photographer Willoughby Wallace Hooper in 1877, during his time in India, this albumen silver print exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue. The image portrays an abandoned building nestled amidst lush vegetation, with crumbling walls and overgrown foliage lending an air of desolation to the scene. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the eerie atmosphere that permeates every corner. Hooper's keen eye for detail is evident in this photograph as he skillfully captures both architectural elements and natural surroundings. The intricate textures on the decaying walls tell stories of forgotten times while nature reclaims its space with wild abandon. "Forsaken" invites viewers to ponder upon themes such as transience, impermanence, and human existence within a larger context. It serves as a poignant reminder that even grand structures can succumb to time's relentless passage. As part of Liszt Collection - renowned for its vast array of historical photographs - this print showcases Hooper's mastery behind the lens. Its inclusion in this esteemed collection further solidifies its significance as a timeless piece capturing not only physical decay but also evoking emotions that resonate across cultures and generations.
