EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the Acqueduct, near the Alhambra" takes us back to the 19th century in Granada, Spain. The image showcases a stunning landscape near the renowned palace of Alhambra, which dates back to the 14th century. The aqueduct depicted in this photograph played a vital role in ensuring a constant flow of drinking water to both the fortress and palace complex. It also served as a source for feeding the fountains and pools that adorned this magnificent architectural masterpiece. The print is sourced from Albert F. Calvert's book "The Alhambra: being a brief record of the Arabian conquest of the Peninsula with a particular account of Mohammedan architecture and decoration". Published by John Lane in London & New York in 1907, this engraving captures not only an important historical site but also highlights Islamic artistry and Moorish influence on Spanish culture during that era. As we gaze upon this image captured by an unknown creator, we are transported through time to witness firsthand how religion, history, and geography intertwine seamlessly within this UNESCO World Heritage Site. This remarkable piece serves as both a testament to human ingenuity in constructing such marvels centuries ago and as an invitation for modern-day travelers to explore Granada's rich heritage at one of its most iconic tourist attractions - Alhambra.
