EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Thespiss wagon, a significant artifact from ancient Greece. Published in 1915 as part of Hutchinsons History of the Nations, this image takes us back to the 6th century BC when Thespis, an innovative actor and playwright, revolutionized theater. Thespis holds a prominent place in history as not only the first person to ever step onto a stage as an actor but also for his invention of theatrical touring using a horse-drawn wagon. This ingenious method allowed him to bring performances to different cities and regions, expanding the reach of Greek theater. The archival photograph beautifully captures the essence of this historical relic. The old wagon stands proudly amidst its surroundings, symbolizing centuries of cultural exchange and artistic expression. Its weathered appearance hints at countless journeys undertaken by Thespis himself or those who followed in his footsteps. As we gaze upon this illustration from English School's collection, we are transported back in time to witness the birth of drama and experience its profound impact on civilization. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years ago, people sought entertainment through storytelling and performance. Ken Welsh's expert photography preserves this invaluable piece of history for future generations to appreciate. Through this image, we can marvel at how one individual's creativity sparked an entire industry while simultaneously honoring ancient civilizations' contributions to our shared human heritage.
