EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "View of Algiers (Algerii), Algerie" takes us back in time to the bustling harbor city of Algiers in North Africa. Created by the talented artist Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617, this print is a remarkable piece from the renowned atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg. The intricate details captured in this engraving offer a glimpse into the exterior view of Algiers during that era. The fortification surrounding the city stands tall, showcasing its strength and importance as a stronghold. As we explore further, we witness the vibrant streets filled with African locals going about their daily lives. Algiers, known for its rich history and strategic location on the Mediterranean coast, has always been an integral part of Arab civilization. This artwork not only serves as a geographical map but also provides insight into Algeria's cultural heritage within the Maghreb region. Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures this historical moment through her lens, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of Algiers and its significance within African history. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what life was like in this enchanting North African city centuries ago.
