EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1886 showcases the awe-inspiring Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Created by Ferdinand Knab, this print allows us to marvel at the grandeur and magnificence of this colossal statue. The Colossus of Rhodes was erected in commemoration of the Rhodians' victory over Antigonus' troops in 305 BC. Commissioned by Chares of Lindos, it stood as a symbol of their triumph and devotion to Helios, the sun god. This monumental sculpture depicted Helios himself, towering above the harbor and casting his radiant light upon all who approached. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the sheer size and splendor that once graced ancient Greece. The intricate details captured by Knab's skilled hand bring life to every aspect - from the delicate features on Helios' face to the ships sailing beneath his colossal legs. The image evokes a sense of wonder and amazement as we contemplate how such an extraordinary feat was accomplished with limited technology available during that era. It reminds us not only of mankind's ability to create magnificent works but also our enduring fascination with history and its wonders. This remarkable print is a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even though time may have claimed these ancient wonders, their legacy continues to inspire generations long after they have crumbled into dust.
