EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning views of four historic port cities - Aden, Mombaza, Quiloa, and Cefala. Taken from Georg Brauns Civitates orbis terrarum and published in 1572, this engraving offers a glimpse into the bustling trade hubs of Africa and Arabia during that era. The first view takes us to Aden, located in Yemen. Its strategic position on the Arabian Peninsula made it a crucial stop for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. The image captures the city's vibrant harbor filled with trading vessels from various nations. Next is Mombasa, situated in Kenya. Known for its rich history as an important Swahili trading center, Mombasa's coastal charm is evident in this print. The city's bustling port reveals a lively exchange of goods and cultures. Moving southward along the East African coast brings us to Kilwa (Quiloa), now part of Tanzania. Once a thriving hub for gold trade with Arab merchants, Kilwa boasts impressive ruins that stand as testament to its former glory. Lastly, we arrive at Sofala in Mozambique – another significant trading post during ancient times. This view showcases Sofala's picturesque harbor where ships docked to exchange valuable commodities such as gold and ivory. Together, these views offer a glimpse into the interconnectedness of global trade centuries ago while highlighting the architectural beauty and cultural diversity found within each port city. A true treasure from Braun's Civitates orbis terrarum collection
