EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the ancient city of Sparta in 272 BC. The image captures a pivotal moment during the Siege of Sparta, where Pyrrhus of Epirus finds himself in retreat. Under the command of Areus I, brave Spartan warriors defend their beloved city against the invading forces. The intensity and chaos of battle are palpable as arrows fly through the air and men clad in armor fiercely fight for their lives. The detailed engraving beautifully depicts the historic scene with meticulous attention to dress, weaponry, and architecture. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from Edmund Ollier's "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" we are transported to a time long gone but not forgotten. The image evokes a sense of admiration for those who fought valiantly to protect their homeland. The photograph serves as a reminder that history is not just confined within pages; it can be brought to life through art. It invites us to explore our past, understand our roots, and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Let this remarkable print ignite your curiosity about ancient Greece, its rich culture, and its enduring legacy that continues to shape our world today.
