About the Item

This print is titled "RUINS OF PERSEPOLIS" and it showcases a detailed and colored engraving of the ancient ruins of Persepolis in Persia (modern-day Iran). The image portrays a series of grand columns and remnants of what were once monumental structures, capturing the grandeur of the ancient city. In the foreground, there are figures dressed in clothing that appears to be of the period, suggesting the ongoing human presence amidst the historical ruins. The rugged mountain landscape in the background sets a dramatic backdrop for the ruins. The print was published by Harrison & Co. on October 1, 1782. The artists involved are denoted by "Stothard del." referring to the artist who drew the original design, and "Birrell Sculp." indicating the engraver who produced the image. These inscriptions give credit to the respective artists for their contributions to the print, which would have been a part of a series or book on views of different locations, as was common in the 18th century.
