EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Brick of Cyrus" takes us on a journey back in time to the 19th century. Captured by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, this print is now part of a private collection. The image showcases a single brick that holds immense historical significance. It was discovered during archaeological excavations and is believed to be associated with Cyrus the Great, a prominent figure from biblical times. This intriguing artifact serves as a tangible link to ancient civilizations and their architectural achievements. Originally featured as an illustration in the book "Biblical Monuments" by William Harris Rule and J Corbet Anderson, published between 1871-73, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into the past. The meticulous attention to detail highlights not only the texture of the brick but also its weathered appearance due to centuries of existence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history through the lens of photography, we are reminded of how our understanding of biblical events is enriched by such discoveries. This print invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy left behind by figures like Cyrus and encourages us to delve deeper into our shared human heritage. With its blend of artistry and historical significance, "A Brick of Cyrus" stands as both an exquisite photographic composition and an invaluable testament to our collective past.
