EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Map of Alexandria, 1575" by Frans Hogenberg and Georg Braun. Created in the 16th century, this meticulously hand-colored etching provides a fascinating glimpse into the ancient city of Alexandria in Egypt. The map depicts a bustling metropolis nestled along the banks of the majestic River Nile, with its intricate network of streets and buildings beautifully illustrated. The imposing city walls stand tall, guarding against any potential threats from land or sea. A vibrant harbor comes to life with galleons and galleys sailing through its waters, symbolizing trade and transportation that were vital to Alexandria's prosperity. Religion plays an important role as well, as numerous churches dotting the landscape highlight Christianity's influence during this period. The map also captures the stunning natural beauty surrounding Alexandria - from the tranquil Mediterranean Sea to the meandering estuary where the mighty Nile meets its end. As we gaze upon this historical treasure preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness how this walled town flourished amidst rich cultural heritage and thriving maritime activities. It serves as a testament to both German cartographers' skillful craftsmanship: Frans Hogenberg and Georg Braun. With every detail carefully hand-tinted, this exquisite artwork not only offers geographical insights but also immerses us in an era when water transport was paramount for global trade. This print is truly a window into our past that allows us
