EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Macedonian Phalanx, 1890", an ancient infantry formation that played a pivotal role in the conquests of Alexander the Great. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. Originally developed by Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great, this formidable military formation proved instrumental in their successful campaign against the Achaemenid Empire during the 4th century BC. The phalanx consisted of tightly packed soldiers armed with long spears called sarissas, creating an impenetrable wall of defense and offense. Captured within these monochrome lines is a glimpse into history's most renowned conqueror and his strategic brilliance. This engraving was featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History". Volume I - Early and Greek History by Edmund Ollier in 1890. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece, we are transported back to ancient Greece—a time when kings like Philip II ruled over Macedonia with great ambition. The men depicted here stand united as they prepare for battle under their fearless leader, Alexander III of Macedonia. This photograph not only serves as a testament to human ingenuity but also highlights the artistic prowess behind capturing such historical moments on paper. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of ancient warfare while paying homage to those who shaped our world through their triumphs on distant battlefields.
