EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the iconic Belem Tower in Lisbon, Portugal. The print, created by the German School in the 19th century, is a testament to the tower's historical significance and architectural grandeur. The Belem Tower, also known as Torre de Belem or Tower of Saint Vincent, stands proudly as a symbol of Portuguese history. Built in the 16th century during the Manueline period, this magnificent structure boasts intricate details that reflect both Gothic and Renaissance influences. With its strategic location on the Tagus River estuary, this tower played a vital role in protecting Lisbon from potential invaders. Its defensive features include thick walls adorned with decorative elements such as maritime motifs and religious symbols. This particular print has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity while preserving its original charm. It was originally featured in "Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk" (World History for People) by Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held in 1880. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to a time when Portugal was at the forefront of exploration and trade. The Belem Tower remains an enduring testament to Lisbon's rich history and serves as a reminder of mankind's ingenuity and artistic prowess throughout centuries past.
