EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Map of Egypt with the cities of the Nile and Carthage (Tunisia), 1570" takes us on a journey through time to explore the ancient lands of North Africa. Created by Abraham Ortelius, a renowned Flemish cartographer, this map showcases his meticulous attention to detail and passion for geography. The map depicts the majestic Nile River winding its way through Egypt, surrounded by lush greenery and dotted with vibrant cities. The intricate engravings beautifully capture the essence of these historic locations, transporting us back to a time when they were bustling centers of civilization. One cannot help but be drawn to Carthage in Tunisia, an iconic city that once stood as a symbol of power and prosperity. Its famous harbor is depicted here in all its glory, inviting us to imagine the ships that once sailed these waters. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece from Ortelius' "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" we are reminded of the immense beauty and diversity found within Africa's landscapes. From the arid deserts stretching across Egypt to the fertile banks of the Nile River, this map serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this historical print through her lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. This image not only celebrates Ortelius' contribution to cartography but also invites us on an enchanting visual exploration into ancient African civilizations.
