EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Prospect of the inner part of Tangier, ca. 1670" takes us back in time to the vibrant cityscape of Tangier in the 17th century. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian etcher, this masterpiece captures the essence of North Africa's rich heritage. The image showcases the imposing fortifications and city walls that encircle Tangier, emphasizing its strategic location along the Mediterranean Sea. The intricate details reveal rows of houses nestled within these protective walls, creating a picturesque townscape against the backdrop of the sea. One cannot help but be drawn to Peterborough Tower standing tall amidst this bustling port city. Its architectural grandeur adds an air of majesty to an already enchanting scene. The harbor comes alive with trade activities as ships navigate through its waters, connecting Tangier to distant lands. Hollar's meticulous etching technique brings out every geographical feature with precision and accuracy. This artwork is not only visually stunning but also serves as a valuable historical document showcasing Tangier's significance as a hub for commerce and cultural exchange during that era. Displayed proudly at The Met museum, this print allows viewers to immerse themselves in Tangier's past glory while appreciating Hollar's artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and celebrates the enduring beauty found within diverse landscapes across continents.
