EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "View of Pharos at the mouth of the Nile" takes us back in time to ancient Egypt. The image showcases the renowned lighthouse that was constructed between 300 and 280 BC, standing tall and proud on an island off the coast of Alexandria. This masterpiece is a print from Le Theatre du Monde or Nouvel Atlas, created by Willem Blaeu (1571-1638) and his son Joan Blaeu (1596-1673). The lighthouse itself holds great historical significance as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Its construction marked a remarkable feat of engineering for its time, guiding ships safely through treacherous waters with its brilliant light. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to a distant era where bustling trade routes connected diverse cultures across Europe and beyond. The tranquil waters surrounding Pharos Island reflect the vibrant hues of twilight as day transitions into nightfall. As we gaze upon this exquisite engraving, we can almost feel ourselves immersed in ancient Egyptian history. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our eternal fascination with exploration and discovery. This print captures not only an iconic landmark but also evokes a sense of wonderment about our collective past. It reminds us that even centuries later, these architectural marvels continue to inspire awe and admiration for their timeless beauty.
