EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Part of Tangier from above, 1670" takes us on a journey back in time to the vibrant cityscape of 17th century Tangier. Created by the talented Bohemian artist Wenceslaus Hollar, this etching showcases his remarkable attention to detail and artistic skill. The image captures a panoramic view of Tangier, a walled city situated along the coast of North Africa. The imposing castle and fortifications dominate the landscape, symbolizing the strength and resilience of this bustling metropolis. The city walls encircle the entire area, offering protection against potential threats while also defining its boundaries. As our eyes explore further into the scene, we are drawn towards the picturesque harbour where trade flourishes. Ships sail gracefully across the Mediterranean Sea as they dock at this important port for commerce and cultural exchange. The iconic Sandwich Tower stands tall amidst all these activities, serving as a prominent landmark within Tangier's rich heritage. Hollar's masterful use of black and white adds an air of timelessness to this historical snapshot. Through his intricate etching technique, he brings life to every architectural detail and geographical feature present in Tangier during that era. Displayed proudly in museums worldwide like The Metropolita Museum (not mentioned for commercial use), this artwork serves as a testament to Hollar's talent as well as an invaluable glimpse into Tangier's past. It invites viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance—a true treasure capturing
