EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Ancient Temple at Amathus, Cyprus This image portrays the ancient temple ruins at Amathus, located in Cyprus. The illustration is taken from Ali Bey el Abbassi's "Travels in Morocco, Tripoli, Cyprus, Egypt, Arabia, Syria and Turkey," published in London in 1816. The engraving was produced by Dell Acqua and hand-colored by Lazaretti, as part of Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's "Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages (Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti)" published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The temple at Amathus is believed to have been dedicated to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and fertility. The ruins, which date back to the 12th century BC, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Cyprus. The temple complex includes several structures, including a large altar and a series of columns. The intricate details of the temple ruins are beautifully captured in this copperplate engraving. The use of hand-coloring by Lazaretti adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning representation of the ancient site. The illustration offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to explore the history and beauty of this ancient city. Ali Bey el Abbassi, a Moroccan traveler and writer, documented his journeys through various parts of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. His detailed accounts and illustrations, like this one, provide valuable insights into the cultures and landscapes of the regions he visited. The engraving of the temple at Amathus is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of his travels.
