EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century print depicts the ancient city of Pagan, or Bagan, in Myanmar, Burma, as it may have appeared during the time of Marco Polo's visit in 1282. The city, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the capital of the Burmese kingdom from the 9th to the 13th centuries and is renowned for its impressive collection of Buddhist temples and monasteries. Marco Polo, the famous Venetian traveler, described the city as "the City of Mien," and was particularly struck by its two magnificent towers, one of gold and one of silver. These towers, believed to be the spires of the Shwezigon Pagoda and the Dhammayangyi Temple respectively, are not visible in this print, but their absence only adds to the mystery and allure of this historical image. The city of Pagan was a bustling center of trade and culture during the 13th century, and its temples and monasteries were adorned with intricate carvings and gold leaf. This print captures the essence of the city's rich history and spiritual significance, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and wonder. The print, produced in the 19th century, offers a unique perspective on the ancient city of Pagan, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of this fascinating destination. With its intricate details and beautiful composition, this print is a must-have for any history or travel enthusiast, and a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to far-off lands and bygone eras.
