EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Coins of Cities and Countries, Gela - Heraea" takes us on a journey through the rich history of Europe in the 19th century. The print showcases an assortment of coins from various cities and countries, including Gela, Heraea, Latium, Macedonia, Rome, Sicily, and Greece. The intricate details engraved by the English School artist bring these ancient currencies to life. Each coin tells its own story; they are not merely pieces of metal but symbols of power and culture that have withstood the test of time. As we gaze upon this historical treasure trove captured in monochromatic beauty, we can't help but be transported back to a bygone era. We imagine bustling marketplaces where these coins were exchanged for goods and services or used as offerings in sacred rituals. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for William Smith's A Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography in 1878. It serves as a visual testament to the importance placed on understanding our past and preserving our collective heritage. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a remarkable piece from their private collection.
