EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, dating back to 1909, transports us back in time to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 280 and 247 BC, this architectural marvel stood as a beacon of light and hope for sailors navigating the treacherous waters off the coast of Egypt.
The intricate details captured in this print from 'Je Sais Tout' magazine showcase the grandeur and magnificence of this ancient structure. The towering height, the flickering flame at its peak, and the intricate construction all come together to create a sense of awe-inspiring beauty.
As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of the ingenuity and skill of ancient civilizations in creating such monumental structures that have stood the test of time. The lighthouse served not only as a guide for ships but also as a symbol of progress and innovation in architecture.
This image serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these wonders continue to captivate our imagination and inspire us with their timeless beauty. It is a testament to human creativity and perseverance that continues to resonate with us today.
