EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map of the Island of Rhodes, reproduced in the renowned book "Le Chevalerie et les Croisades" by Paul Lacroix. Created in 1886, this etching was originally printed by Erhard Reuwich for Bernhard von Breydenbach's "Peregrinatio in Terram Santam" in 1486. The map offers a fascinating glimpse into the medieval world, taking us back to the 15th century when pilgrims embarked on their sacred journeys. It depicts an enchanting Greek landscape with its fortified walls and picturesque harbor bustling with ships and maritime activity. As we delve deeper into this intricate artwork, our eyes are drawn to the meticulously detailed cityscape that adorns the island. The walled town stands proudly amidst its surroundings, exuding an air of strength and resilience. Its strategic location as a port is evident from the numerous vessels dotting its shores. Through this remarkable piece of cartography, we are transported to another time - a time when knights roamed these ancient streets and seafarers sought refuge within these protective walls. This image not only serves as a testament to human ingenuity but also highlights the significance of geography in shaping history. With every glance at this awe-inspiring print, one cannot help but marvel at how art can preserve moments frozen in time while simultaneously igniting our imagination about distant lands and forgotten eras.
