EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored halftone reproduction takes us back to the year 332 BC, where we witness Alexander the Great meticulously laying out the foundations of Alexandria in ancient Egypt. This vintage illustration beautifully captures the historic moment when this legendary military leader and conqueror embarked on his ambitious mission to establish a city that would become one of the greatest centers of civilization. In this scene, Alexander stands tall as he surveys the land with a determined expression on his face. Dressed in traditional Macedonian attire, he commands attention and respect from his soldiers who stand by him. The Mediterranean Sea serves as a backdrop, symbolizing both opportunity and challenge for this audacious endeavor. The image not only showcases Alexander's strategic planning skills but also highlights his vision for creating an empire that bridged cultures and civilizations. As he carefully plots out streets, buildings, and landmarks, we can almost feel the excitement in the air - a new chapter unfolding in ancient history. This artwork transports us to an era where city planning was still in its infancy but already held immense importance. It reminds us of how influential figures like Alexander shaped our world through their conquests and cultural exchanges. As we gaze upon this print from North Wind Picture Archives, we are reminded of the profound impact that individuals can have on shaping societies and leaving behind legacies that endure throughout time.
