EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed maps of the ancient Persian and Macedonian empires. Created by Heinrich Kiepert, a renowned cartographer from the 19th century, these coloured engravings are part of his famous work called Atlas Antiquus. The maps depict the vast territories of Persia and Macedonia during their respective heydays. They offer a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of these ancient civilizations. With meticulous attention to detail, Kiepert beautifully captures the geographical features, cities, and landmarks that once defined these powerful empires. As we explore these maps, we are transported back in time to an era where mythological figures roamed freely and paganism was prevalent. The influence of religion is evident as we see references to various gods worshipped by both Persians and Greeks. These maps not only serve as valuable historical artifacts but also provide insight into the complex political dynamics between Europe and Asia during this period. They highlight how Greece's conquests under Alexander the Great expanded its empire into Persia's domain. Through this photo print, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Kiepert's exceptional craftsmanship while immersing ourselves in a world long gone but forever preserved in these stunning engravings. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites us to delve deeper into understanding our past.
