EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the ancient city of Alexandria, where one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World stood tall and proud - The Pharos. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print beautifully captures the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic structure. The Pharos at Alexandria was a lighthouse that served as a beacon for sailors navigating through treacherous waters. Standing over 100 meters high, it was considered one of the tallest man-made structures of its time. Its construction is believed to have begun around 280 BC during the reigns of Ptolemy I Soter and completed under his son Ptolemy II Philadelphus. This engraving showcases intricate details, allowing us to marvel at every aspect of this architectural marvel. From its impressive height to its ornate design, we can imagine how awe-inspiring it must have been for those who witnessed it firsthand. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of the technological advancements achieved by ancient civilizations but also their dedication to creating enduring landmarks that would withstand the test of time. The Pharos at Alexandria remains an emblematic symbol representing human ingenuity and ambition throughout history. With each glance at this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into a world long gone but forever immortalized through artistry and imagination.
