EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Themistocles, a prominent Athenian politician and general from ancient Greece. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this portrait is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard. Themistocles rose to fame during the Athenian democracy and played a crucial role in shaping naval policies. He fought valiantly at the Battle of Marathon, showcasing his military prowess and strategic genius. This engraving showcases him in profile, dressed in traditional Greek attire, emphasizing his status as a statesman. The image exudes a sense of power and authority as Themistocles gazes into the distance with determination. The intricate details captured by the artist bring forth his character - intelligent, ambitious, and influential. This print not only serves as a visual representation of an important historical figure but also reflects the artistic style prevalent during the 19th century. The use of black and white adds depth to Themistocles' persona while highlighting his significant contributions to ancient Greek politics and warfare. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of Themistocles' enduring legacy that shaped Athens' destiny during one of its most critical periods.
