EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century print depicts a distant view of the historic city of Tarabulus, now known as Tripoli, located in present-day Lebanon. The image transports us back in time, offering a captivating glimpse into the rich history of this ancient Mediterranean port city. Established as a Phoenician colony over 3,000 years ago, Tarabulus has been a crossroads of civilizations, with influences from the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, and Ottomans, among others. The city's strategic location along the coast made it a valuable trading hub, attracting merchants from around the world. In this print, we see the city's sprawling layout, with its whitewashed houses and red-tiled roofs nestled among the rolling hills and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea in the background. The city's fortifications, including the imposing Crusader castle, can also be seen, standing guard over the city and protecting it from invaders. The print's intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of the bustling markets, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, and the aroma of spices wafting through the air. This historic view of Tarabulus is a testament to the city's enduring allure and its rich cultural heritage, making it a must-see destination for history buffs and travel enthusiasts alike.
