In 1097, Medieval Europe was at the brink of a monumental event - the start of the Crusades. The Seljuk Turks had been a formidable force in the region, but they suffered a significant defeat at Dorylaeum during the First Crusade. This lithograph depicts Europe and the Mediterranean Lands around this time, showcasing the historical significance of that era. Amidst this turbulent period, an Auster 5 G-AIKE aircraft takes flight, symbolizing progress and exploration even amidst conflict. Meanwhile, Godfrey of Bouillon led his troops in besieging Antioch in Turkey as part of the First Crusade. The Pianta di Roma del Campo Marzio Collection maps provide us with a glimpse into another time and place - Rome during this era. These maps offer valuable insights into urban planning and architecture from centuries ago. Moving forward to more recent history, we encounter Bohmer Franz's work depicting Poznan Castle in Poland between 1939-1943. Although details about its content remain unknown, it is clear that Franz utilized specific materials and technology for his creation. Another piece by Bohmer Franz showcases Joachim von Ribbentrop's official apartment as Reich Foreign Minister in Berlin-Mitte during World War II. This image serves as a reminder of how history intertwines different periods and events across centuries. Returning to 1097, we witness an important turning point: Bohemond, Tancred, Robert of Normandy successfully defeated the Turks during their crusade. Their triumph marked a significant milestone not only for Christianity but also for European power dynamics within medieval society. Lastly, Kashan comes into focus - an ancient city known for its rich cultural heritage dating back thousands of years. Its inclusion hints at connections between various regions impacted by both conflicts and trade routes throughout history.
