EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of history - the Map of the Peloponnesus from 1890. The Peloponnesus, a peninsula in southern Greece, holds immense significance as it was named after Pelops, a prominent figure in Greek mythology. This region is renowned for being the birthplace of the first Olympic Games, which were held at Olympia in Western Peloponnese back in 776 BC. The antique engraving featured here is extracted from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier, published by Cassell and Company Ltd. in London, Paris, and Melbourne during the late 19th century. It offers an intriguing glimpse into ancient Greek geography and serves as a valuable resource for scholars studying early Greek history. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its aged charm while highlighting intricate details such as geographical features like gulfs - particularly the Gulf of Corinth and Saronic Gulf - that played significant roles in shaping ancient Greece's landscape. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to an era where literature thrived alongside sporting events like the Olympics. While pondering over this map print created by an unknown artist long ago, we can't help but marvel at how time has preserved these historical treasures for us to appreciate today.
