EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the majestic Royal Road leading to the Minoan palace at Knossos, dating back to the 15th century BC. Considered by Sir Arthur Evans as the oldest road in Europe, this ancient pathway holds immense historical significance. The image showcases a colorful scene on the island of Crete, where buildings and people come together to create a bustling street filled with life. The perspective of this photograph allows us to imagine what it would have been like during that time period. The well-preserved architecture of the palace stands tall against the clear blue sky, reflecting its grandeur and importance. As we follow the Royal Road, lined with charming lanes and avenues, we can almost hear echoes of footsteps from centuries ago. Transportation was crucial for both royalty and commoners alike in ancient Greece, and this road served as a vital artery connecting various parts of Knossos. It symbolizes not only physical movement but also cultural exchange between different regions. Thanks to photographer CM Dixon's skillful lenswork, every detail is brought to life in vivid color. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage left behind by our ancestors.
