EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, showcasing an Egyptian galleon sailing gracefully through the open sea. The intricate engraving reveals a fascinating blend of ancient Egyptian architecture and maritime technology. On the ship's deck, two towering stone obelisks stand proudly, symbolizing power and grandeur. The vessel itself is a remarkable sight, equipped with both sails and oars. While the sails harness the wind's force for propulsion during favorable conditions, the oars serve as a manual means of maneuvering in still air or tight spaces. This unique combination of sail and rowing capabilities demonstrates the ingenuity of sailors from that era. The illustration originates from "Obeliscus pamphilius" a renowned work by Athanasius Kircher published in Rome in 1650. It showcases Kircher's deep fascination with ancient Egypt and his meticulous attention to detail. Todd-White Art Photography has beautifully captured this historical masterpiece, emphasizing its vertical composition against a pristine white background. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these majestic vessels once dominated Egypt's waters. Whether you are captivated by history or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print is sure to be an intriguing addition to any collection.
