"Prospect of the Inner Part of Tangier, with the Upper Castle, from South-East" is an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned 17th-century artist. This detailed view of Tangier, Morocco, depicts the city's landscape, including the imposing upper castle, the surrounding fortifications, and the densely packed houses within the city walls. The etching, created between 1669 and 1673, showcases Hollar's masterful ability to capture architectural detail and create a sense of depth and realism. It is a valuable historical document providing insight into the urban landscape of Tangier during a period of significant European interest in the region. This print, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is an example of Hollar's meticulous and influential contribution to the art of etching and topographical views.
