EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a detailed glimpse into the ancient city of Chan Chan in Peru. The image showcases a plan of this remarkable archaeological site, meticulously surveyed in 1893 and reproduced three years later. Chan Chan, once the capital of the Chimu civilization, is renowned for its grandeur and historical significance. This photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate layout and architectural complexity that characterized this pre-Columbian city. The map reveals an array of structures within the city's boundaries, providing insight into how life flourished within these walls centuries ago. Each line on this diagram represents a street or building, hinting at a bustling urban center that was home to thousands. As we study this fascinating detail from turn-of-the-century Peru, our imagination wanders through time as we envision what daily life might have been like for those who inhabited these ruins. We can almost hear echoes of footsteps echoing through narrow alleyways and imagine vibrant marketplaces filled with traders haggling over exotic goods. Thanks to The Granger Collection's meticulous preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness history unfold before our eyes through their Carousel Collection. This print serves as both an educational tool for archaeology enthusiasts and a stunning piece of art that transports us back to one of Peru's most significant cultural landmarks – Chan Chan.
