1932 Extinct City Iraq Ziggurat
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the ancient city of Ur, located in present-day Iraq. The year is 1932, and this image beautifully captures the grandeur of one of Ur's most iconic structures - a ziggurat. Rising majestically against the horizon, this architectural wonder stands as a testament to the advanced civilization that once thrived here. Ur was an extinct city by 1932, but its rich history dates back over 6,000 years. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to a time when bustling markets filled these streets and vibrant cultures intermingled within these walls. The ziggurat depicted here served as both a religious center and a symbol of power for the rulers of ancient Mesopotamia. The photographer has skillfully captured every intricate detail of this magnificent structure - from its tiered levels to its weathered stone facade. The play between light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition, emphasizing the timeless beauty that still emanates from these ruins today. As we contemplate this photograph, let us reflect on how civilizations rise and fall throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great cities can be lost to time but never forgotten thanks to images like these preserved in collections such as Liszt Collection.
