EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plain of Meander, Asia Minor" takes us on a journey to the ancient ruins of Turkey. The image showcases the vast flood plain where the majestic River Meander flows through, surrounded by rolling hillsides and valleys. In this picturesque landscape, we catch a glimpse of a quaint town nestled amidst nature's beauty. The renowned artist Thomas Allom was drawn to this region due to its rich history and abundance of Roman ruins. One cannot help but be fascinated by these remnants of an ancient civilization that once thrived in this very spot. Among them is Ephesus, the capital of Asia Minor during the Roman era. Allom's extensive travels abroad allowed him to capture breathtaking views like this one, which were highly sought after during his time. His engravings depicting faraway places were published in 1837 and received great acclaim. In this particular scene, we see city houses dotting the landscape while goatherds guide their flock along the riverbank. It is a serene moment frozen in time, showcasing both human activity and nature's tranquility coexisting harmoniously. This remarkable print from eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums offers us a window into history as well as an opportunity for contemplation and appreciation of Turkey's natural wonders.
