EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the breathtaking views of the Moroccan town and port of Essaouira, also known as Mogadore, in North Africa. The image showcases the picturesque layout of the town, with its whitewashed houses and winding streets, nestled between the rugged cliffs and the sparkling blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The port area is bustling with activity, as fishing boats return with their catch and merchants sell their wares to eager buyers. The intricate detail in this engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar, Germany, in 1823, not only serves as an educational tool for young learners but also as a window into the rich history and culture of Morocco during the early 19th century. The natural beauty of the landscape is further enhanced by the vibrant colors used to hand-paint each element of the scene, making it a true masterpiece of early natural history and educational illustrations.
