EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Heinrich Schliemann, a renowned German archaeologist who made significant contributions to prehistoric Greek archaeology. Taken in 1891, this print showcases Schliemann's distinguished features - his thick moustache and serious expression reflect his dedication to his profession. Schliemann (1822-1890) is best known for excavating the traditional site of Troy multiple times between 1871 and 1890, shedding light on ancient civilizations that were once thought to be mere legends. His groundbreaking discoveries also extended to Mycenae in 1876 and numerous other archaeological sites. In this image, we see a man whose passion for uncovering history is palpable. The Victorian-era attire adds an air of sophistication as he stands against a backdrop that hints at the rich historical landscapes he explored throughout his career. As one of Germany's most celebrated archaeologists, Schliemann left an indelible mark on the field of archaeology during the 19th century. This engraving serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment to unraveling mysteries buried beneath layers of time. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive and now available through Heritage Images, this print allows us to peer into the past and appreciate the remarkable achievements of Heinrich Schliemann. It serves as a reminder that with determination and curiosity, we can unearth treasures from our collective human heritage.
