EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Pharos of Alexandria" plate 9 from Entwurf einer historischen Architektur, engraved by Johann Adam Delsenbach in 1721. The image is a testament to the remarkable talent of Fischer von Erlach and his ability to bring historical architecture to life through his engravings. "The Pharos of Alexandria" was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and this print beautifully captures its grandeur. Standing at an impressive height of 450 feet, it served as a lighthouse in ancient Egypt and was built by Ptolemy Philadelphus. The intricate details depicted in this engraving allow us to appreciate the architectural brilliance behind this ancient marvel. From its sturdy base rising towards the sky, adorned with ornate carvings and sculptures, to its towering structure that guided ships safely into the harbor, every aspect exudes magnificence. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the awe-inspiring beauty that once graced Alexandria's shores. Its significance as both a navigational aid for sailors and a symbol of human ingenuity cannot be overstated. This print serves as a reminder not only of our rich architectural heritage but also our innate desire to create structures that stand the test of time. It is an exquisite piece worthy of any art collection or display dedicated to celebrating humanity's achievements throughout history.
