EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century print takes us back in time to the Mediterranean Coast, where the cities of Damascus, Antioch, and Sidon flourished. The intricate drawing is derived from the Book of the mapets, a remarkable piece of cartography from 1593. The aerial view showcases a stunning landscape that encompasses both natural beauty and architectural marvels. As our eyes wander across this vertical composition, we are greeted by rolling hills, lush fields, and a serene lake nestled amidst it all. The coastline stretches along the horizon as if inviting travelers to explore its secrets. The fortified walls surrounding each city stand tall against the backdrop of this historical tableau. These structures not only provided protection but also served as testaments to human ingenuity and settlement throughout history. Amidst nature's splendor lies evidence of civilization's progress: castles dotting the landscape like guardians of time. Each building exterior tells stories untold—tales that have shaped these cities into what they are today. As we delve deeper into this artwork's details, text annotations guide us through topographical features and navigational equipment used during that era—a testament to humanity's thirst for knowledge and exploration. This artful illustration transports us beyond mere visual representation; it allows us to travel through time itself—to an era when these cities thrived with culture, trade routes were bustling with activity, and history was being written on every street corner.
