EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the ancient city of Halicarnassus, located on the picturesque coast of Turkey. The image showcases the magnificent Tomb of Mausolus, a monumental structure that stood as a testament to power and love. Built in the 4th century BC, this awe-inspiring mausoleum was dedicated to Mausolus, ruler of Caria, and his wife Artemisia II. It is famously known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The intricate architecture and exquisite sculptures adorning its exterior are truly remarkable. In this particular photograph, we see a quadriga - a chariot drawn by four horses - positioned atop the tomb. This symbolizes both strength and royalty associated with Mausolus' reign. The attention to detail captured in this print allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of the mausoleum but also its historical significance. The image evokes a sense of wonder as we contemplate how such an impressive structure could have been constructed over two millennia ago. It serves as a reminder that even in antiquity, human creativity knew no bounds. As we gaze upon this print from "Wonders of the Past". Volume I (1933-1934), our imagination takes flight, transporting us through time and space to witness firsthand one of history's most remarkable architectural achievements –the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.
