EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Kars" takes us back in time to the year 1860. The print showcases a mesmerizing view of Kars, a historic city in Turkey. Engraved by J. Godfrey and based on an original work by J. Ramage, this piece is now part of a private collection. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Kars, with its prominent 13th-century citadel standing proudly at the center. The citadel's imposing presence dominates the landscape, surrounded by towering walls that enclose the ancient town within. Intriguingly, we see soldiers marching through the streets below, adding an element of life and activity to this otherwise still scene. Their presence hints at the military significance of Kars during that era. As our eyes wander further into the picture, we notice a river meandering gracefully alongside the city walls. This river not only adds beauty to the composition but also serves as a vital lifeline for both trade and transportation. The minarets rising above Kars' skyline remind us of its Turkish heritage and Islamic influence. These elegant structures punctuate the cityscape while symbolizing faith and spirituality. Overall, this evocative engraving transports us back in time to witness Kars' architectural grandeur and historical significance firsthand—a true testament to both artistic skill and cultural preservation.
