EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Lighthouse of Alexandria, a masterpiece that stood tall in ancient Egypt. Created by renowned artists Magdalena van de Passe, Maerten de Vos, and Crispijn van de Passe (I) between 1610 and 1638, this Latin print beautifully captures the grandeur of this architectural wonder. The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as Pharos Alexandria Wonder World, was an awe-inspiring structure built during the reign of King Ptolemy II Philadelphus. Situated on an island off the coast of Alexandria in Egypt, it served as a guiding light for ships navigating through the Mediterranean Sea. Designed by Sostratus of Knidos, this lighthouse not only provided illumination but also became a symbol of maritime excellence. Its strategic location at the entrance to the harbor made it an essential landmark for sailors from all corners of the world. This remarkable print transports us back in time to witness one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The intricate details captured by these talented artists bring life to every corner and curve of this magnificent structure. As we admire this image, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess while reminding us how our ancestors harnessed their creativity to shape our world.
