EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Smyrne" is a remarkable work by the talented French photographer Felix Bonfils. Born in 1831 and passing away in 1885, Bonfils left an indelible mark on the world of photography with his exceptional skills and artistic vision. This particular image was taken around 1878 in Alais, France, showcasing Bonfils' mastery of albumen silver print technique. The photograph transports us to Smyrne (modern-day Izmir), a bustling city located on the Aegean coast of Turkey. Through Bonfils' lens, we are immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of this ancient metropolis. The composition captures a moment frozen in time; its intricate details and rich tonal range evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Bonfils expertly frames the scene, drawing our attention to architectural elements that define Smyrne's unique character. The play of light and shadow accentuates the textures and intricacies found within each building, while also highlighting their grandeur against the backdrop of clear blue skies. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image from Liszt Collection, we can't help but marvel at how Bonfils effortlessly captured both the beauty and essence of Smyrne. His ability to transport viewers through time with just one click is truly awe-inspiring. This photograph serves as a testament to Bonfils' talent as well as his dedication to preserving history through his artistry.
