EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating back to circa 1780, offers a breathtaking view of the historic city of Tunis, the capital of the Kingdom of Tunisia, nestled on the North African coast. The image transports us back in time, providing a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling cityscape of the late 18th century. The city is bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, its whitewashed buildings and red-tiled rooftops standing proud against the clear blue sky. The winding streets and alleys of the medieval medina, or old town, can be seen snaking their way up the hillside, while the more modern European quarters spread out towards the harbor. The harbor, teeming with activity, is filled with a variety of ships from different nations, reflecting Tunis' role as a significant trading hub between Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean. The ships, with their sails billowing in the breeze, add a sense of dynamism and energy to the scene. Tunisia, a former French protectorate, has a rich and complex history, with influences from Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, and Europeans. This print serves as a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and its strategic importance in the Mediterranean world during the late 18th century. The intricate details of the buildings, the bustling harbor, and the tranquil waters create a captivating and evocative image that invites us to explore the history and stories of this fascinating city. This print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for anyone interested in history, art, or the Mediterranean world.
