EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tower of Demetrius Poliorcetes during the intense Siege of Rhodes in 305 BC. The tower, a remarkable feat of ancient engineering, was constructed by King Demetrius Poliorcetes of Macedonia. Its imposing structure and strategic location played a crucial role in defending against enemy forces. The image, taken from A History of the Development and Customs of Chivalry by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp and published in 1842, offers a detailed view of the tower's ground plan and construction details. The color lithograph beautifully captures the grandeur and complexity of this ancient marvel. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when warfare required not only strength but also ingenuity. The wheel depicted in the image symbolizes both innovation and resilience as it enabled defenders to rotate heavy weaponry swiftly for effective defense. This print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, showcasing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans possessed an unwavering determination to protect their territories. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can appreciate this extraordinary piece without commercial implications.
