EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the picturesque Harbour of Rhodes, showcasing its rich history and stunning landscape. The engraving, created by William Henry Bartlett in the 19th century, depicts the fortifications erected by the Knights of Rhodes. These medieval structures stand tall against a backdrop of crystal blue waters and Greek islands. The image is a digitally cleaned version from "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon. It offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels that once protected this strategic harbor in ancient times. The fortified towers and ramparts tell tales of battles fought and won, as well as providing insight into the influence of knights hospitaller during this period. Boats dotting the sea add movement to an otherwise serene scene, with even a tugboat visible in the distance. They serve as reminders that this harbor was not only historically significant but also played a vital role in transportation and trade. As you gaze upon this print, let your imagination transport you back to another era when Rhodes was at its prime. Feel yourself immersed in its vibrant history while appreciating both its natural beauty and impressive architecture. This artwork truly encapsulates all that makes Rhodes such a remarkable destination within Greece's Aegean Sea region.
