EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Prospect of the Lower Part of Tangier, ca. 1670" takes us back to a bygone era in Africa's history. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian etcher from the 17th century, this image offers a glimpse into the cityscape of Tangier during that time. The etching showcases the fortified walls surrounding Tangier, standing tall as a symbol of protection against potential threats. The coastal location is evident as we see ships docked at the bustling harbor, highlighting Tangier's significance as a trade hub between Europe and North Africa. The landscape features rolling hills in the background, adding depth and dimension to this historical snapshot. As our eyes wander through each intricate detail captured by Hollar's skilled hand, we can almost feel ourselves transported to this walled city steeped in heritage. With its strategic position along the Mediterranean Sea, Tangier played an essential role in shaping regional politics and commerce during this period. This artwork serves as a testament to both Wenceslaus Hollar's artistic prowess and his dedication to documenting significant geographical features for posterity. Displayed proudly within museums worldwide such as The Met, this piece stands not only as an exquisite example of Hollar's work but also as a reminder of Tangier's rich cultural past. It invites viewers to reflect on centuries-old traditions while appreciating how much has changed since then – truly capturing the essence of time frozen within ink lines on paper
