EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey back in time to the ancient Roman Empire, specifically to the legendary Appian Way. As we gaze upon this illustration from the renowned book "Harmsworth History of the World" published in 1908, we are transported to an era long gone but still etched into our collective memory. The image showcases The Appian Way as it would have appeared during its prime, revealing a road that was not only functional but also awe-inspiring. Stretching far into the horizon, this iconic thoroughfare served as a vital artery connecting Rome with its vast empire. Its significance cannot be overstated; it facilitated trade and commerce while enabling military expeditions and cultural exchanges. Intricate details bring life to this historical depiction - chariots rumbling along, pedestrians traversing its cobblestones, and grand arches adorning its sides. The sheer magnitude of engineering prowess required for such construction is evident in every stone laid meticulously by skilled hands. Ken Welsh's masterful capture allows us to appreciate both the architectural marvels and natural beauty surrounding The Appian Way. It reminds us of humanity's enduring quest for progress and connection across time and space. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of history through Ken Welsh's lens, let us reflect on how these ancient roads paved the way for modern civilization – physically uniting people while leaving an indelible mark on our shared heritage.
