EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving "Across Mongolia, the Sacred City of Ourga" takes us on a visual journey through time and space. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the mysterious world of Central Asia. The Sacred City of Ourga, located in present-day Mongolia, is beautifully depicted with intricate details that transport us to this distant land. In this illustration for The Illustrated London News from October 1891, we witness a scene filled with cultural richness and spiritual devotion. Buddhist monks can be seen engrossed in prayer while turning the sacred praying wheel, their faith evident in every gesture. Meanwhile, convict prisoners endure their punishments nearby as part of their penance or rehabilitation. This artwork not only showcases the architectural beauty of Ourga but also provides insight into its diverse population. From Mongolians to Asians from various backgrounds, it highlights the multiculturalism that thrived within this ancient city. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded of how art has the power to transcend time and bring history alive before our eyes. It invites us to explore new cultures and appreciate both their similarities and differences. Let us immerse ourselves in this enchanting image and allow our imagination to wander across Mongolia's vast landscapes and vibrant traditions.
