EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Principal cities of the Old World" takes us back to the late 19th century, showcasing a beautifully colored engraving that captures the essence of various iconic cities across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The image is sourced from Crams Unrivalled Atlas of the World by Edward Williamson in 1887. The map features well-known European destinations such as Athens in Greece, Marseille in France, Venice in Italy, and Geneva in Switzerland. These bustling urban centers were important hubs for trade and cultural exchange during this era. Moving southward into Africa, we encounter Cairo in Egypt and Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast. These ancient Egyptian cities hold rich historical significance as centers of civilization dating back thousands of years. The image also highlights Constantinople (now Istanbul) within the Ottoman Empire's territory at that time. This vibrant city served as a bridge between Europe and Asia, blending cultures from both continents. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into an era when these principal cities played pivotal roles in shaping world history. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness through geography and culture throughout different regions across time.
