EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving of Axum, we are transported back in time to the ancient city that once thrived in Ethiopia. The image showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail by the English School artist from the 19th century. Axum, a historical gem nestled amidst stunning landscapes, holds immense significance as one of Africa's oldest continuously inhabited cities. This print allows us to delve into its rich past and explore its architectural wonders. The intricate carvings adorning towering obelisks and grand structures hint at a civilization steeped in cultural heritage. The scene depicted here is reminiscent of an era when Axum flourished as a major trading hub along the Red Sea route. Its strategic location made it a melting pot for diverse cultures, resulting in a vibrant tapestry of traditions that shaped its identity. Through this artwork, we can almost hear echoes of bustling marketplaces filled with merchants haggling over exotic goods from distant lands. It serves as a visual testament to Axum's prominence during ancient times and offers us glimpses into the lives of those who walked these streets centuries ago. As we admire this print, let us appreciate not only the skillful artistry but also acknowledge Axum's enduring legacy as an archaeological treasure trove waiting to be explored further.
