This print titled "Prospect of Yorke Castle at Tangier, from ye Strand, and the North-West, 1669-73" takes us back to the 17th century in Africa. The image showcases the majestic Yorke Castle standing tall against a picturesque coastal backdrop. Wenceslaus Hollar's etching beautifully captures the fortifications of this bohemian castle, highlighting its significance as a trade hub. The city walls surrounding Tangier Province de Tanger Morocco are prominently featured, symbolizing both protection and historical importance. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece, we are transported to an era when Tangier was a bustling port city on the Mediterranean Sea. Hollar's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty of York Castle but also its strategic location by the sea.

This print serves as a window into history—a glimpse into North Africa's rich cultural heritage. It invites us to explore centuries-old landscapes and geographical features through Hollar's masterful craftsmanship. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in Wenceslaus Hollar's unique perspective on Tangier—an enchanting walled city that continues to captivate visitors even today.
