EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient coin engraved with the head of the renowned Ancient Greek poet, Sappho. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this exquisite piece now resides in a private collection. The coin itself dates back to around 630-570 BC and offers a rare glimpse into the face of one of history's most celebrated literary figures. Sappho, known for her lyrical poetry and contributions to literature, holds great significance within Greek culture. Her words have resonated through time, inspiring countless generations with their emotional depth and beauty. This engraving serves as a testament to her enduring legacy. The image has been digitally cleaned to restore its original splendor while retaining its historical authenticity. It was featured as an illustration in Julius Hart's "Geschichte der Weltlitteratur" (History of World Literature) published around 1894. As we gaze upon this striking portrait, we are transported back to ancient Greece—a world where poets held immense power through their verses. Sappho's influence on subsequent writers cannot be overstated; she remains an icon for women in literature even today. Through this photograph, we can appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this ancient coin but also pay homage to Sappho's profound impact on literary history.
