EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1838 print captures the breathtaking view of the Port of Rhodes in Greece, a historical and cultural gem of the Mediterranean. The image, titled "View of the Port of Rhodes, Greece," was created by the renowned English photographer William James Muller. Muller was known for his exceptional skill in capturing the beauty and authenticity of the places he visited, and this print is no exception. The Port of Rhodes, located on the eastern coast of the Greek island of the same name, has been a significant trading hub since ancient times. The view showcases the bustling activity of the port, with ships of various sizes anchored in the harbor, their sails billowing in the wind. The vibrant colors of the buildings along the waterfront add to the lively scene, their red-tiled roofs contrasting against the deep blue of the Aegean Sea. The historical significance of Rhodes is evident in the fortified walls of the Old Town, visible in the background of the print. These walls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, have protected the city since the Middle Ages and have played a crucial role in its rich history. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood at the harbor entrance, though it was destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and culture of Rhodes and the Mediterranean during the 19th century. It is a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of this ancient city and its port, which continue to captivate visitors from around the world.
