EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Bangkok in 1898. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers, a renowned writer and illustrator, this image captures the essence of Siam's rich cultural heritage. Standing proudly outside a Buddhist temple are giant guardian sculptures that exude an air of mystique and awe. These magnificent statues, with their intricate details and imposing presence, serve as protectors of the sacred space within. The artist skillfully portrays the delicate balance between strength and serenity that is synonymous with Buddhism. The architectural beauty of the temple itself is also showcased in this print. Its ornate design reflects centuries-old traditions while seamlessly blending into the natural landscape surrounding it. This harmonious fusion of artistry and nature creates a serene atmosphere for both worshippers and visitors alike. As we gaze upon this lithograph from Allers' book "Rund um die Erde" we are transported to a time when travel was an adventure filled with discovery. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, ancient wonders like these continue to captivate tourists from all corners of the globe. This remarkable piece not only celebrates Thailand's vibrant history but also pays homage to Christian Wilhelm Allers' talent for capturing moments frozen in time through his artistic lens.
