EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Acre. Walls of Saint Jean d'Acre," depicts the fortified city of Acre, also known as Akko or Akka, located in the northern territory of Israel along the Mediterranean coast. The image, created in the 19th century by the French engraver Lemaitre, is a testament to the Ottoman domination of the region during that time. The city's imposing walls, with their battlements and defensive towers, stand tall against the backdrop of the turquoise Mediterranean Sea. The castle of Saint-Jean d'Acre, a prominent feature of the city, is visible at the center of the image. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled much of the Mediterranean world from the late 13th to the early 20th centuries, is evident in the Turkish flags flying from the castle's towers. The image also shows a ship in the foreground, suggesting the importance of maritime navigation and trade during the Ottoman period. The remains of this historic city, with its rich history and cultural significance, continue to attract visitors from around the world today. This engraving is a valuable historical record of the Ottoman domination of Acre and the broader Mediterranean region during the 19th century.
