EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Wasserspeier, or gargoyle, from the eaves of the Zeus Temple in Olympia. The image is part of a collection that documents the remarkable results of an excavation conducted by the German Reich under the auspices of the Royal Prussian Minister for Spiritual, Educational, and Medical Affairs. The gargoyles were meticulously captured through a photomechanical process in 1897 by Ernst and Friedrich Adler, along with their esteemed colleagues Ernest Curtius, Wilhelm Dorpfeld, Paul Graef, Josef Franz Maria Partsch, and Rudolf Weil. These talented individuals dedicated themselves to preserving these archaeological treasures for future generations. The Wasserspeier depicted here stands as a testament to ancient craftsmanship and architectural ingenuity. Its intricate details are brought to life in this high-quality print. From its menacing expression to its elongated body contorted into fantastical shapes, every aspect reveals both functional purpose and artistic beauty. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back in time to Olympia's glory days when gods were worshipped within grand temples adorned with such magnificent sculptures. This image serves as a reminder of our shared human history and our ongoing fascination with uncovering ancient mysteries.
