EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the ancient city of Ak-Hissar, also known as Thyatira. The English School's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical site to life, allowing us a glimpse into its grandeur and significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a bygone era where biblical stories unfolded. This particular illustration was created for Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition in the late 19th century, showcasing its importance within religious literature. Ak-Hissar holds immense significance in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Revelation. It is here that John received one of his seven letters from Jesus Christ himself. These letters were meant to guide and instruct early Christian communities during a time of persecution and uncertainty. The intricate engravings beautifully capture the essence of Ak-Hissar's architectural marvels, transporting us back to an era steeped in faith and spirituality. Its inclusion within this revered biblical text further emphasizes its historical relevance. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art reproduction, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from our own private collection. Let it serve as a reminder of the rich tapestry woven by history and religion - an exquisite testament to human creativity and devotion throughout centuries past.
