"Pharos: A Beacon of History, Wonder, and Illusion" Step into the past with "The Derby 1923 by Cecil Aldin, " a captivating artwork that transports us to an era where Pharos stood tall. Known as the lighthouse of ancient Alexandria, Pharos was not only a guiding light for sailors but also one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In "The Lighthouse On Pharos Island, Alexandria, Egypt, " we catch a glimpse of this majestic structure through a fanciful 19th-century illustration. Its grandeur is further emphasized in an engraving from "Afrika, Dets Opdagelse, Erobring Og Kolonisation, " published in Copenhagen in 1901. Alexandria itself holds tales untold; it was home to Pharos and witnessed its glory firsthand. The racehorse named after this iconic landmark left its mark on history too. With speed and grace akin to the lighthouse's guiding light, Pharos galloped towards victory. But not all is what it seems – enter the world of illusionist magic shows by Pharos. Audiences gasp at his daring performances like fake decapitation, leaving them spellbound and questioning reality itself. "The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria" engraving takes us back to 1886 when artists immortalized this architectural marvel among other wonders. As we explore more engravings like "Essai de restauration du phare d Alexandrie" and "Seven Wonders Of The Ancient World: The Pharos At Alexandria, " our fascination grows deeper. Yet beyond Egypt's shores lies Faraglion in Capri, Italy - reminiscent of distant echoes from ancient times. This rocky outcrop reminds us that wonders can be found across borders and continents alike. As we navigate through time on Le Theatre du Monde or Nouvel Atlas' world map, let our imagination soar alongside nineteenth-century depictions of Pharos.
