EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "View of the Citadel Messina, Sicily" takes us back to 19th century Italy. The image showcases a stunning coastal scene with the imposing Citadel Messina standing proudly against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. The fortifications and ramparts of this Italian fortress give it an air of strength and grandeur. As we gaze at the print, our eyes are drawn to a variety of boats dotting the tranquil waters. A tugboat can be seen gracefully gliding through the sea, symbolizing transportation and connectivity in this bustling port city. It serves as a reminder of how crucial maritime trade was for Europe during that era. The Italian flag fluttering atop one of the fortress walls reminds us that this is not just any European coastline but rather a proud part of Italy's rich history. The view captures both natural beauty and man-made structures harmoniously coexisting along Sicily's picturesque shoreline. This remarkable artwork was originally created as an illustration for the Illustrated Times in June 1860, providing readers with a glimpse into life in Messina during that time period. Preserved within private collections, this engraving allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as it transports us back to an enchanting moment in Sicilian history.
