EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Alexandre Bida takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the world of archaeological excavations. The image depicts a trench at an archaeological site, where laborers diligently work to uncover the mysteries of the past. The scene is filled with a sense of purpose and discovery as workers meticulously dig through layers of earth, unearthing remnants of an ancient Arab civilization in Suse. Their tools are scattered around them, evidence of their tireless efforts to reveal history's secrets. Bida's skillful craftsmanship brings this moment to life, capturing both the physical labor involved and the excitement that comes with each new find. The detailed engravings showcase not only the workers but also the intricate architecture surrounding them, hinting at what lies beneath. Jane Dieulafoy's story "A Suse" serves as inspiration for this illustration, adding depth and context to our understanding of these excavations. It was published in "Le Tour du Monde" under Edouard Charton's direction in 1887. As we gaze upon this print from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand the dedication and passion required for unraveling history's enigmas. This engraving stands as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about its past and our relentless pursuit of knowledge through archaeology.
