EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases "The Seven Wonders of the World" as depicted by the German School in the 19th century. The print, part of a private collection, is a remarkable piece from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790 and 1830. In this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness these awe-inspiring wonders that have captivated humanity for centuries. From left to right, we can admire the colossal statue of Zeus at Olympia, an architectural marvel representing Greek mythology's king of gods. Next is the magnificent Colossus of Rhodes, standing tall and proud as one of ancient Greece's most iconic landmarks. Moving forward, our eyes are drawn to the majestic Temple of Diana at Ephesus—an enchanting structure dedicated to Artemis, goddess of hunting and fertility. As we continue our journey through history and geography, we encounter more breathtaking sights: an intriguing depiction of antiquities showcasing various architectural styles from different eras across Europe. This coloured engraving not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into human ingenuity and creativity throughout time. It reminds us that even though these wonders may no longer physically exist today or have been altered by time's passage, their legacy lives on through art like this print—preserving their grandeur for generations to come.
