EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mode of Travelling in Turkey" takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of travel in the Levant. Engraved by L. Clark and published in 1820, it is an exquisite lithograph that showcases the work of William Turner. The image portrays a scene from a grand tour through Turkey, where Westerners embarked on adventurous journeys to explore new lands. In this particular moment frozen in time, we see two figures on horseback traversing the picturesque landscape of the Middle East. One can't help but notice their impeccable attire; both sportswoman and sportsman are elegantly dressed for their expedition. The gentleman dons a top hat while confidently guiding his horse forward, exuding an air of sophistication. Meanwhile, his female companion gracefully rides alongside him with her own steed. Horses were not merely means of transportation during these travels but also symbols of status and adventure. They provided access to remote areas and allowed travelers to immerse themselves fully in local cultures. As we admire this engraving, we are transported back to an era when exploration was at its peak – when intrepid souls ventured far beyond their comfort zones in search of knowledge and enlightenment. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans possessed an insatiable curiosity about foreign lands and cultures – a timeless desire that continues to shape our world today.
