EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Posticum of the Little Temple, Baalbec" takes us on a journey through time to explore the rich history and architectural wonders of Baalbec. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of this ancient site with remarkable precision. The image showcases the posticum, or rear entrance, of the Little Temple in Baalbec. The intricate details and grandeur of this structure are truly awe-inspiring. Every column, archway, and decorative element tells a story that dates back centuries. Baalbec itself is steeped in history and mythology. Located in modern-day Lebanon, it was once known as Heliopolis - City of the Sun. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts some of the best-preserved Roman ruins outside Italy. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be transported to a different era - one where emperors ruled over vast territories and magnificent temples stood tall against breathtaking landscapes. This artwork was originally featured as an illustration for The Imperial Gazetteer: A General Dictionary of Geography published by Blackie around 1855. Its inclusion in such a prestigious publication speaks volumes about its historical significance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have access to these extraordinary glimpses into our past. Let us cherish these prints as windows into worlds long gone and appreciate their beauty for generations to come.
