EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient city of Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire. The ruins of Persepolis, captured in this 1890 image by an unknown creator, stand as a testament to the grandeur and architectural brilliance of the Persian civilization. The photograph showcases a distant view of the ruins, with majestic pillars rising against a backdrop of rugged landscape. In this monochrome scene, a lone man stands amidst the remnants of history, adding a sense of scale and perspective to the vastness that surrounds him. Published in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier, this engraving transports us to a time when Persia was at its zenith. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its construction in the 6th century BC, Persepolis continues to captivate our imagination with its historic significance. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, these ruins hold immense cultural value for Iran and serve as an enduring symbol of Persian artistry and ingenuity. This print from "The Print Collector" allows us to appreciate not only their historical importance but also their aesthetic beauty. As we gaze upon this evocative image from over a century ago, we are reminded that despite being reduced to mere ruins today, Persepolis still holds within it stories waiting to be discovered and cherished for generations to come.
