EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mediaeval Tartar Huts and Waggons" takes us on a journey back in time to the Far East during the Middle Ages. The image showcases the unique homes and modes of transportation used by the Tartar people, as depicted by an English School artist from the 20th century. The scene is reminiscent of Marco Polo's travels, as it serves as an illustration for his renowned book, "The Book of Ser Marco Polo". Translated and edited by Henry Yule in 1921, this third edition captures Polo's remarkable adventures through Asia. In this digitally cleaned print, we witness the nomadic lifestyle of these medieval Tartars. Their huts are simple yet sturdy structures that blend harmoniously with their natural surroundings. These portable dwellings allowed them to move freely across vast landscapes while maintaining a sense of home wherever they went. What truly captivates our attention are the wagons that accompany these huts. These mobile abodes were ingeniously designed to be pulled along by horses or oxen, enabling entire families to traverse great distances without sacrificing comfort or stability. As we delve into this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how travel has evolved over centuries. This enchanting engraving offers us a glimpse into a distant era when journeys were filled with wonder and discovery—a testament to humanity's enduring spirit of exploration.
