EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling scene of Ancient Phoenician traders in a vibrant Mediterranean seaport. The hand-colored woodcut, derived from a 19th-century illustration, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient civilization's business and trade practices. In this snapshot of history, we witness Phoenician sailors diligently engaged in commerce as they navigate their sailing ships through the azure waters. Laden with an array of goods including rugs, ivory tusks, and amphoras filled with precious cargo, these skilled traders epitomize the spirit of maritime exchange that thrived during this era. The port city itself exudes an air of antiquity and historic significance. Known for its rich heritage and strategic location in present-day Lebanon, it served as a hub for international trade between East and West. Sidon and Tyre were prominent cities within Phoenicia where merchants would buy, sell, or barter their wares amidst the lively market atmosphere. This evocative image transports us back to a time when classical civilizations flourished along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that characterized ancient societies while also reminding us of our shared human history
