EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Map showing position of Petra" takes us on a journey through time and space. Created by an English School artist in the early 20th century, this illustration is part of a private collection. The map showcases the geographical location of Petra, also known as "The Rose Red City of Wonder". Situated in Jordan's southwestern desert, this ancient city holds immense historical significance for Arab civilization. The intricate details highlight its importance as a cultural hub connecting Sudan, Africa, and the Middle East. As we explore this mesmerizing map, we are transported to a world filled with ruins that evoke both awe and curiosity. The dilapidated structures depicted here remind us of the passage of time and the impermanence of human creations. Through this lithograph's monochromatic beauty, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into another era. The sense of history emanating from these illustrations is palpable. Every line tells a story; every curve reveals hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also ignites our imagination about what life might have been like in Petra during its prime. It invites us to delve deeper into cartography and appreciate how maps can provide glimpses into forgotten civilizations. Bridgeman Images has once again brought forth an extraordinary piece from their vast collection – one that captures our senses and transports us to distant lands steeped in mystery and wonder.
