Graftombes bij de akropolis van Mycene before 1910

This photograph, "Graftombes bij de akropolis van Mycene," was taken by Frédéric Boissonnas. It's a small black and white image, like something lifted from a dusty book, and it captures something of an ancient land. Looking at this image, I imagine Boissonnas setting up his camera, framing the light just so. I think he was thinking about the way light shapes and reveals. The stone here must be rough. I wonder if the texture felt hard or smooth to the touch. It seems to me this image is less about grand statements and more about the quiet, enduring presence of the place itself. I feel a connection to the passage of time, to the cyclical nature of history and memory.
