EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical gem - the Map of Alexandria, Egypt, dating back to 1625. The intricate details engraved on this piece offer a glimpse into the bustling city during the seventeenth century. The map highlights Alexandria's strategic location along the coast of Egypt, with its port serving as a vital hub for trade and transportation. The Mediterranean Sea stretches out beyond the city, emphasizing its significance as a gateway between continents. A fleet of sailing ships gracefully glides across the water, symbolizing the vibrant maritime activity that once characterized this ancient metropolis. These vessels were essential in facilitating commerce and connecting Alexandria to distant lands through sea routes. As we delve deeper into this monochrome masterpiece, it becomes evident that every line etched onto it holds historical value. This engraving is not just an ordinary map; it is a testament to Egyptian craftsmanship and ingenuity from centuries ago. While much about its creator remains unknown, one thing is certain: this Map of Alexandria transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and gain insights into how trade shaped cities like Alexandria throughout history.
