EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable consoles that support columns of the Porta Aurea, as envisioned by the talented artist Robert Adam. Published in 1764, this engraving is a testament to Adam's artistic prowess and his deep appreciation for architectural beauty. The image takes us back in time to the ruins of the Palace of Emperor Diocletian at Spalatro in Dalmatia. The consoles stand tall and proud, exuding an air of grandeur amidst their ancient surroundings. Their intricate design and delicate details are brought to life through this colour lithograph. While this artwork was created long before the tumultuous events of World War I, it now serves as a poignant reminder of those dark times. As we gaze upon these consoles, we can't help but imagine how they witnessed countless civilians fleeing from conflict-ridden areas nearby. The River Drinia flowing beneath them adds another layer of symbolism, representing both separation and connection between nations. In today's context, this print holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It reminds us not only of our shared past but also prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving cultural heritage during times of war or crisis. This piece belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection and stands as a powerful illustration capturing both artistry and history intertwined. Let it serve as a call for fundraising efforts aimed at safeguarding precious monuments like these consoles while honoring all those who endured unimaginable hardships during World War I - particularly Serbian soldiers who fought bravely on
