EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ptolemais, Cyrenaica" takes us back in time to the ancient capital of present-day Libya. The image showcases the remnants of a once-thriving city, possibly named after Ptolemy III Euergetes, an influential figure from history. During the Roman period, it was known as Tolmeta. The photograph is part of a collectible card series called "Remains of the Roman Empire in Africa" created by Liebig in 1914. It offers a glimpse into the rich heritage and architectural marvels left behind by this great civilization. In this particular scene, we see camels gracefully traversing through what remains of Ptolemais. These majestic creatures symbolize both Arab culture and their close association with desert landscapes. Their presence adds depth and authenticity to this historical depiction. The vibrant colors used in this chromolithograph bring life to every detail captured within the frame. The Italian influence is evident not only in its creation but also in its subject matter, showcasing Italy's interest and fascination with ancient civilizations during that era. As we admire this artwork from Fine Art Finder, we are transported to another time - early twentieth century Europe - where appreciation for ancient empires like Rome was at its peak. This photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity about our past and our desire to preserve these significant cultural landmarks for future generations.
