EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Fort and Harbour of Aboukir, Ancient Canopus, Egypt, 1801" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Canopus on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. Painted by the talented artist Thomas Milton, this artwork showcases the historical significance of Aboukir village as it stands on what is believed to be the site of Canopus. Intriguingly, Canopus was once Ancient Egypt's principal seaport before Alexandria took its place in the 4th century BC. This print offers a glimpse into the past with its depiction of a bustling harbor filled with boats and sailboats navigating through crystal blue waters. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every building and structure along the waterfront is meticulously portrayed. The vibrant colors used by Milton bring life to this 19th-century scene, transporting viewers back in time. As we admire this aquatint print from Views in Egypt held at Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris, we can't help but appreciate how art has preserved history for generations to come. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and allows us to connect with distant civilizations that shaped our world today. Let this stunning artwork transport you to another era - an era where trade flourished through these very harbors and where ancient cities like Canopus thrived along Egypt's magnificent coastline.
