EDITORS COMMENTS

Crafted by the German School in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of a literary genius whose influence has withstood the test of time. The statue itself is a remarkable representation of Sophocles, who lived from c497 to c405 BC. The image comes from "Hellas und Rom" a comprehensive cultural history book written by Jakob von Falke and published around 1878. It beautifully illustrates how art can transcend centuries and continue to inspire generations. Sophocles was renowned for his tragic plays that explored complex human emotions and moral dilemmas. His works were deeply rooted in Greek culture and mythology, making him an essential figure in classical literature. This engraving pays homage to his significant contributions as a dramatist during Greece's golden age. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Sophocles' enduring legacy as one of history's greatest writers.

This print serves as a testament to the power of artistic expression and its ability to immortalize individuals who have shaped our world through their words.
