EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic fortress of Staraya Ladoga, a symbol of strength and resilience in Russia's rich history. The intricate illustration, created by Christian Lorenzen Rothgiesser in 1659, transports us back to a time when Muscovy was ruled by powerful dukes and kings. The fortress stands tall against the backdrop of the Moscow Principality, exuding an aura of grandeur and mystery. Its imposing walls and towers are expertly depicted through copper engraving, capturing every minute detail with precision. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the weight of history that surrounds it. Staraya Ladoga holds great significance as one of Russia's oldest settlements. It witnessed countless battles and sieges throughout its existence, serving as a strategic stronghold for centuries. This print allows us to appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also its historical importance. Adam Olearius' book "Travels to the Great Duke of Muscovy and the King of Persia" serves as the source for this remarkable illustration. Through Rothgiesser's artistic talent, he brings Olearius' words to life on paper. As we admire this piece from a private collection today, let us marvel at how art has preserved moments from our past. It reminds us that even though time may pass and empires may rise and fall, there will always be remnants left behind – like this stunning depiction – allowing future generations to connect with their heritage.
