EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1913, capturing the grand entrance to Olympia's Athletic Field. The image is a remarkable piece from Robert Hitchens' book "The Near East" published by Hodder and Stoughton in London. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when travel was an adventure of its own. The ruins of Olympia stand proudly in the background, showcasing the architectural marvels of ancient Greece. Overgrown with nature's touch, these remnants serve as a testament to centuries past. This location holds immense historical significance as it was once home to the Olympic Games - an event that has become synonymous with athleticism and competition. In this photograph, one can almost feel the energy that once filled this sacred ground. The concept of athletics comes alive through the track and field that stretches before us. It is easy to imagine athletes from all corners of Asia converging here for glory and honor. Today, Olympia remains a cherished tourist attraction where visitors can immerse themselves in history while exploring Western Asia's rich heritage. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days of sport and celebrates our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations.
