EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Modern Town of Tersoos, the Ancient Tarsus" takes us on a visual journey through time. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the stark contrast between the modern town of Tersoos and its ancient counterpart, Tarsus. As we gaze upon this intricate artwork, we are transported back to biblical times. The illustration was originally featured in Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition from around 1880 and specifically depicts a scene from the New Testament's Acts of the Apostles. The bustling modern town of Tersoos stands proudly alongside its ancient ruins, reminding us of the rich history that lies beneath our feet. This juxtaposition allows us to appreciate how time has shaped and transformed this once-thriving city. With every detail meticulously engraved, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past as we explore each corner of this image. From architectural elements to everyday life scenes depicted within its borders, there is much to discover and ponder upon. "The Modern Town of Tersoos, the Ancient Tarsus" serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst progress and change, remnants of our past continue to shape our present. It invites us to reflect on how civilizations evolve over time while preserving their heritage for generations yet unborn. Through Bridgeman Images' collaboration with Fine Art Finder, this remarkable piece now finds new life as it captivates viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
