EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Doorway in the Great Wall, from China" takes us on a journey through time. Illustrated by the talented Athanasius Kircher in 1667, this engraving captures the essence of ancient Chinese architecture and culture. The image showcases a magnificent archway adorned with intricate details, standing proudly amidst the majestic Great Wall of China. The grandeur of this architectural marvel is further enhanced by its surroundings - lush greenery, towering trees, and a clear blue sky. As we delve deeper into the scene, our eyes are drawn to an array of fascinating elements. A group of horses and an elephant can be seen passing through the gateway, symbolizing trade routes that once flourished along this historic landmark. In traditional dress, soldiers stand guard at either side of the entrance while a loyal dog accompanies them faithfully. This print not only offers us a glimpse into China's rich history but also serves as a reminder of its enduring beauty. It evokes feelings of awe and curiosity as we imagine what life was like during that era. Displayed in any setting, whether it be your home or office space, this artwork will transport you to another time and place – where legends were born within these walls.
