EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Athens in 1890, a city steeped in ancient history and cultural significance. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, but their lens captured the essence of this capital city that has thrived since 900 BC. The photograph showcases the outskirts of Athens, with rolling hills forming a picturesque backdrop. A lone shepherd tends to his flock of sheep on the hilltop, symbolizing the enduring connection between man and nature throughout centuries. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of the bustling cityscape, hinting at its prosperous trade and economic prowess. This print is an engraving from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier. It serves as a visual representation of early Greek history and offers insight into Athenian life during that time period. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image while evoking nostalgia for an era long gone. The presence of background people further emphasizes human activity within this historic landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Athens' rich past but also its enduring legacy as one of Greece's leading centers for art, literature, and commerce. This print truly encapsulates both the beauty and historical significance that define Athens as an ancient treasure still cherished today.
