EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Corinthus, Constantinopolis, Delphi" takes us on a journey through time and space. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print showcases three iconic locations: Corinthus (Corinth), Constantinopolis (Constantinople), and Delphi. The intricate details of this illustration transport us to ancient Greece and Rome, evoking a sense of awe for these historic sites. The artist's skillful hand brings to life the architectural wonders of each location; from the Corinth Canal connecting two seas at Isthmus of Corinth to the majestic Acro Corinthus overlooking the city. As we explore further into this piece, our gaze is drawn towards Constantinopolis (modern-day Istanbul). This bustling metropolis bridges Europe and Asia with its strategic location along the Bosphorus Strait. The engraving captures its grandeur as it was during that era. Lastly, we are transported to Delphi - an important religious sanctuary in ancient Greece. Known as the center of wisdom and prophecy, it held great significance in Greek mythology. The image beautifully portrays its serene landscape nestled amidst mountains. This remarkable engraving not only serves as a visual feast but also pays homage to William Smith's Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography published in 1878. It reminds us of our rich historical heritage while igniting our curiosity about these fascinating places that have shaped civilizations throughout centuries.
