EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving showcases a breathtaking view of the ancient Citadel of Persepolis in Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the rich history of the Persian Empire. The image, produced by the skilled hand of English engraver Hullett in the 18th century, offers a mid-1700s perspective of the ruins as they appeared during the European Age of Discovery. The Citadel of Persepolis, located in the Marvdasht plateau in Fars Province, was the ceremonial heart of the Achaemenid Empire, founded by Darius I in 518 BC. This architectural masterpiece, with its magnificent palaces, impressive halls, and intricate reliefs, served as the royal seat for the Persian kings until its destruction by Alexander the Great in 330 BC. Quite accurate descriptions of the visible ruins began to surface during the 18th century, and this engraving by Hullett is a prime example of the detailed and precise documentation that emerged during this period. The desert landscape surrounding the citadel adds to the mystique and grandeur of this ancient site, which continues to captivate historians, archaeologists, and travelers alike. The Citadel of Persepolis stands as a symbol of the Persian Empire's power, wealth, and cultural achievements, and its enduring allure continues to inspire awe and fascination in people around the world. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the architectural marvels and historical significance of this ancient site.
