EDITORS COMMENTS
Il Colosso di Rodi: An Allegory of the British Empire's Monitoring and Control over the Bosphorus This enchanting and thought-provoking print, titled "Il Colosso di Rodi" or "The Colossus of Rhodes," is an allegorical representation of the British Empire's dominance and control over the Bosphorus Strait, published in the satirical Italian newspaper Pappagallo (Le Perroquet) in the late 19th century. The image, an intricate engraving, depicts the Colossus of Rhodes, a legendary ancient Greek statue, standing tall and upright, monitoring the passage of ships through the Bosphorus. The Colossus is shown with a top hat and a British flag, symbolizing the British Empire's influence and power in the Mediterranean region. The Bosphorus Strait, located between Europe and Asia, is a vital waterway that connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. The control of this strategic location has been a matter of great importance for various empires throughout history. In the late 19th century, as European powers vied for dominance in the Mediterranean, the British Empire sought to secure its position and protect its interests. This allegorical print reflects the political climate of the time, highlighting the British Empire's ambitions and policies in the Mediterranean region. The image of the Colossus of Rhodes, a symbol of strength and power, serves as a reminder of the institutional and political institutions that shaped the world during this period. The print also speaks to the broader themes of Mediterranean identity and the role of public institutions in shaping the world around us. This vertical, upright, engraving is part of the extensive collection of the National Library of France and is a testament to the rich historical and cultural heritage of Europe. It serves as a reminder of the complex and intriguing history of the Mediterranean region and the role of political and institutional power in shaping the world we live in today.
