EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate carved reliefs of a palace guard, found on the Apadana palace staircase in Persepolis, Iran. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient civilization stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels of the Middle East. The image transports us to a bygone era, where we can almost feel the presence of these guardians who once protected this grand palace. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every line and curve meticulously etched into stone. It serves as a reminder of the incredible craftsmanship and artistic prowess that existed in ancient Persia. The close-up perspective allows us to appreciate each delicate feature of this carving. From his regal attire to his stern expression, it is evident that these guards were not only protectors but also symbols of power and authority within their society. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time – imagining what life was like during this period of Iranian history. The Apadana Palace itself looms majestically in the background, adding another layer of awe-inspiring beauty to an already breathtaking scene. This print by David C Poole/Robert Harding captures not just an archaeological site or an architectural wonder but also encapsulates our fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring legacy.
