This photo print, titled "The lower inner part of Tangier, 1673" takes us back to the vibrant cityscape of 17th century Tangier in North Africa. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian etcher, this piece showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to the coastal region where Tangier's city walls stand tall against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.

Through his lens, he immortalizes a moment frozen in time—a testament to Tangier's rich history and cultural significance.

It invites us to reflect on how cities evolve over centuries while reminding us of their enduring beauty that
