EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two magnificent wonders of the ancient world - The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. Published in Munchener Bilderbogen in 1886, this color lithograph by Ferdinand Knab takes us back to a time when these architectural marvels stood proudly. The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as Pharos, was built around 290 BC under the patronage of Ptolemy Soter. This marble watchtower served as a beacon for sailors navigating through treacherous waters near the Egyptian city. Its grandeur and engineering brilliance made it one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Adjacent to it stands another wonder - The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. Originally constructed for King Mausolus of Caria, this burial site became renowned for its exquisite beauty and intricate design. Completed around 350 BC, it showcased classical architecture at its finest. In this image, we witness both structures harmoniously coexisting on a peninsula surrounded by rocky shores. A galley sails gracefully nearby, adding an element of life to this historical scene captured by Knab's lens. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are reminded not only of their physical magnificence but also their significance in shaping our understanding and appreciation for ancient civilizations' architectural prowess. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression that continues to inspire awe even centuries later.
