EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the ancient city of Petra, located in Wadi Musa, Jordan. The image showcases a remarkable architectural feature known as the El-Khazneh, or "The Treasury" which is one of Petra's most iconic structures. In this particular shot, we are drawn to the intricate details of the consoled cornice and lintel that adorn the south side doorway of El-Khazneh. These beautifully carved elements exhibit exquisite craftsmanship and serve as a testament to the advanced engineering skills of Petra's inhabitants. Adding further grandeur to this scene are the supporting pilasters flanking either side of the doorway. These sturdy columns not only provide structural support but also enhance the overall aesthetic appeal with their ornate designs. Dating back to 1920, this photograph captures an era when Petra was still considered an extinct city, shrouded in mystery and waiting to be rediscovered by modern explorers. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient civilizations and their ability to create breathtaking architectural wonders that continue to awe us today. Through this stunning visual representation, we can appreciate both the historical significance and artistic brilliance embodied within Petra's El-Khazneh. This print allows us a glimpse into a world long gone while igniting our curiosity about what other hidden treasures lie within these ancient ruins.
