EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of an ancient tower at Colosse, near Limasol, Cyprus. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the remarkable architecture and fortifications that once stood proudly in this historic location. The image transports us back to a bygone era as we admire the intricate details of the tower's exterior. Its imposing presence is enhanced by the surrounding ramparts and fortified walls, evoking a sense of strength and resilience. As our gaze wanders through the scene, we notice an aqueduct gracefully spanning across the landscape, adding to the grandeur of this ancient site. A group of figures can be seen nearby, perhaps contemplating its rich history or marveling at its architectural prowess. The inclusion of armorial shields further emphasizes its significance as a stronghold or symbol of power during its time. One can almost imagine fires crackling within a fireplace inside one of these towers long ago. This enchanting engraving was originally featured in The Graphic on October 27th, 1883 – a testament to its enduring appeal even over a century later. Preserved in private collection today, it serves as both a reminder and celebration of Cyprus' rich cultural heritage. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate.
