EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Giovanni Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847, offers a captivating view of the ruins of Persepolis, the ancient capital of the Achaemenid Empire in Iran. The image showcases the grandeur and intricacy of the Persian architectural masterpiece, with its towering columns, ornate carvings, and intricate doorways and windows. The ruins of Chehel Minar, or the "Forty Columns," can be seen in the foreground, their plinths and bases adorned with intricate stone carvings and intricate sculptures. The palace walls, with their delicate arches and intricate designs, rise majestically in the background, offering a glimpse into the ceremonial heart of this ancient civilization. The ruins of Persepolis, located in modern-day Iran, were once the center of the Persian Empire, which stretched from Egypt to India. The site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to the rich history and cultural achievements of the ancient Persians. This engraving, with its meticulous attention to detail, offers a window into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and splendor.
