EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the Syracusan Assembly in 1890. The image showcases Timelon, an influential Greek statesman from the 4th century BC, who is depicted seated on a bench surrounded by other politicians and advisors. Despite his old age and blindness, Timelon's wisdom and expertise were highly respected, as he was carried to the assembly to share his valuable opinions. The scene exudes an atmosphere of intellectual discussion and political deliberation. The men are engrossed in conversation, with some attentively listening while others passionately express their viewpoints. This engraving beautifully illustrates the power of dialogue and collaboration within ancient Greece's political landscape. The location itself adds to the historical significance of this image; Syracuse, located in Sicily, was known for its rich cultural heritage during that time period. As we gaze upon this portrait-like photograph, we can't help but be transported back to a different era - one filled with literature, artistry, and profound philosophical debates. This remarkable piece of artwork comes from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier in 1890. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Timelon's contributions to society despite his physical limitations. Through this photograph print, we are reminded that true leadership knows no boundaries - not even blindness can hinder someone from making meaningful contributions towards progress and reform.
