EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Port and Town of Algiers, c. 1572" offers a glimpse into the historical beauty of Algeria's capital city during the 16th century. The print showcases an intricate street map and layout of Algiers, based on a 1572 map by Braun and Hogenburg. The image depicts a bustling harbor scene with ships docked at the pier, suggesting a thriving maritime trade in this North African city. The fortified city walls stand tall as a symbol of protection against potential invaders, while the jetty extends into the bay, providing access to vessels for loading and unloading goods. The details in this artwork provide valuable insights into Algerian history and culture during that era. It highlights the Arab civilization's influence on architecture and urban planning in North Africa. Additionally, it serves as a reminder of Algeria's rich heritage within the broader context of Africa. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made accessible through Bridgeman Images. Its availability allows art enthusiasts to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance as an educational resource for understanding historical geography.
