EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mysterious Angkor" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of history and wildlife in one frame. The European photographer behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their work has found its place in a private collection. The image showcases the enigmatic ruins of Angkor, shrouded in an aura of mystique. As we gaze upon the ancient structures, our eyes are drawn to a mesmerizing sight - a snake slithering gracefully through the scene. This serpent, known as naga in local folklore, holds great significance in the worship practices associated with Angkor. The photograph is reminiscent of an illustration from "The Outline of the World To-Day" edited by Sir Harry Johnston and Dr L Haden Guest around 1920. It transports us to a time when early explorers were captivated by the allure of distant lands and their rich histories. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel transported back to that era; it evokes curiosity about what life was like during those times. The presence of snakes adds an element of intrigue and danger while reminding us that nature's creatures have always played an integral role within historical narratives. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into both artistry and history simultaneously – offering glimpses into forgotten worlds where mystery intertwines with worship amidst breathtaking landscapes.
