EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 13th century, depicting a significant moment in history - Marco Polo's arrival at Ormuz. The scene is beautifully captured from an engraving found in "A Book of Discovery" published in 1912. The image showcases the bustling city of Ormuz, with its towering walls and busy river filled with boats. As we delve into this historical narrative, we witness the meeting point of different cultures and trades. Men can be seen engaging in commerce while animals like camels add to the vibrant atmosphere. Marco Polo himself stands prominently amidst the crowd, his presence symbolizing exploration and adventure. This iconic explorer's journey is brought to life through Rustichello da Pisa's vivid storytelling as recorded in "Livre des merveilles du monde". Transportation plays a crucial role within this image; ships docked along the riverbank highlight both water transport and trade connections during that era. A steamship further emphasizes how technology was advancing even then. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this print, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into this distant world. It serves as a reminder of humanity's thirst for discovery and our ability to connect across vast distances through literature. Overall, this print captures not only an important historical event but also encapsulates the spirit of exploration that continues to inspire us today.
