EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the ancient city of Petra in Transjordan. Taken around 1900, it showcases a remarkable tomb adorned with intricate carvings and architectural details that are characteristic of this extinct city's rich history. As our eyes wander through the frame, we cannot help but be drawn to the mesmerizing presence of a snake gracefully slithering along the tomb's facade. The image encapsulates both the mystique and grandeur that defined Petra during its prime. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was once a bustling trading hub, boasting impressive structures carved into rose-colored rock formations. The snake depicted here adds an element of intrigue and symbolism, as serpents were often associated with protection or guardianship in ancient cultures. Through this photograph, we are reminded of how Petra stood as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship centuries ago. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great civilizations can fade away over time, leaving behind remnants for future generations to marvel at. The Liszt Collection has expertly preserved this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty captured within its borders but also gain insight into one of humanity's most awe-inspiring archaeological wonders - Petra in Transjordan.
