EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a bygone era, capturing the essence of ancient ruins. The image showcases the majestic Ruins Aqueduct, standing as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural prowess. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is John Beasly Greene, an American-born artist who found his passion in France. Born in 1832 and tragically passing away at just 24 years old in 1856, Greene's talent shines through his work. Taken in Egypt during the mid-19th century, this negative-turned-salted paper print offers a glimpse into a time long gone. The aqueduct stretches across the frame with its grandeur intact despite centuries of wear and tear. Its weathered stones tell stories of civilizations that once thrived here. Measuring at 22.6 x 30.4 cm (8 7/8 x 11 15/16 inches), this calotype negative turned print captures every intricate detail with precision and artistry. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create lasting structures that withstand both time and nature's forces. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves walking alongside ancient civilizations who relied on such marvels for their survival. This image invites us to appreciate our shared history while marveling at the artistic vision captured by John Beasly Greene over one hundred years ago.
