EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the "Voie du tombeaux" in Pompeii, Italy. Taken around 1853 by Firmin Eugene Le Dien, a talented French photographer, this image transports us back to ancient times. The composition is masterfully executed, showcasing Le Dien's keen eye for detail and his ability to evoke emotion through photography. The delicate salted paper print measures 22.9 x 30.7 cm (9 x 12 1/16 in. ), allowing us to appreciate every intricate element of this historical site. As we gaze upon the photograph, we can almost feel ourselves walking along the path that leads to these ancient tombs. Possibly printed by Gustave Le Gray, another renowned French photographer of that era, this piece holds even more significance as it represents a collaboration between two artistic visionaries. The soft tones and subtle textures captured on this salted paper print add depth and richness to the scene. It serves as a testament to both Le Dien's technical skill and his deep appreciation for preserving history through his lens. This remarkable print from the Liszt Collection offers us a glimpse into an ancient world frozen in time. It reminds us of the power of photography to transport us across centuries and continents while igniting our curiosity about civilizations long gone.
