EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 14th century, capturing a significant moment in history. It depicts the Brothers Polo embarking on an extraordinary journey from Constantinople to China, accompanied by their young nephew Marco. The image is based on a work called "The Book of the Marvels of the World" which was written down by Rustichello da Pisa, inspired by stories narrated by Marco Polo himself. In this colorized print, we witness the brothers and their entourage preparing for departure outside the majestic city walls of Constantinople. Horses stand tall and proud, symbolizing strength and endurance as they await their riders. The men exude determination and excitement as they set out into uncharted territories. This image not only showcases a remarkable travel expedition but also highlights family bonds and shared adventures. It serves as a reminder of how literature can inspire exploration and discovery throughout different centuries. Thanks to A Book of Discovery published in 1912 by T. C. & E. C Jack Ltd. , we can now appreciate this historical moment with vivid colors that bring it to life once again. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves alongside these brave explorers venturing into unknown lands filled with wonder and intrigue.
