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 captures a mesmerizing view of the renowned "Place of Sacrifice" within this once-thriving civilization. Petra, an extinct city nestled amidst rugged desert landscapes, holds an air of mystery and grandeur that continues to fascinate historians and travelers alike. The photograph showcases the remarkable architectural prowess of its inhabitants, who carved magnificent structures directly into rose-colored sandstone cliffs. The Place of Sacrifice depicted here is a testament to the religious practices and beliefs held by the people who once called Petra home. This sacred site served as a gathering place for rituals and ceremonies, where offerings were made to appease their deities or seek divine favor. The image exudes an aura of solemnity and reverence as we gaze upon this historical marvel frozen in time. The intricate details etched into every surface hint at the skillful craftsmanship employed by these ancient artisans. As we contemplate this extraordinary scene captured over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Petra's rich cultural heritage but also our own connection to history. Through photographs like these preserved by the Liszt Collection, we can appreciate and learn from past civilizations while cherishing their enduring legacy for generations to come.
