EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the South-West Gate and Water-Gate of Su-chau in all its historical glory. The intricate engraving, created by an English School artist from the 20th century, transports us back to ancient times. This artwork is part of a private collection and showcases a scene that was originally illustrated for "The Book of Ser Marco Polo" translated and edited by Henry Yule. The image has been digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate every detail with clarity. It's fascinating to see how this water gate played a significant role in the travels of Marco Polo during his adventures in Asia around AD 1247. The composition highlights the grandeur of the gate, constructed with incised marble and surrounded by a map-like landscape. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within these walls. It serves as a testament to human exploration and discovery during medieval times in the Far East. The South-West Gate stands tall as an architectural marvel that has witnessed countless stories unfold over centuries. This print not only appeals to lovers of art but also captivates those intrigued by travel and historical narratives alike. Its presence evokes curiosity about distant lands and invites us on our own journey through time. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that celebrates both cultural heritage and artistic excellence.
