EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the breathtaking view of the ancient city of Troy at Hissarlik in Turkey during the early 19th century. The site, famously excavated by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, is steeped in history and mystery. Schliemann's discoveries of gold items and massive city walls have shed light on this once-thriving civilization.
In this image, we see a picturesque sunset over the valley where Troy once stood, with a local shepherd dressed in traditional costume tending to his flock. The scene is like something out of a historical novel, transporting us back to a time long gone but not forgotten.
The significance of this archaeological site cannot be overstated - it has provided invaluable insights into ancient civilizations and continues to fascinate historians and archaeologists alike. The meticulous work done by Schliemann and his team has uncovered treasures that tell stories of conquests, trade routes, and daily life in Troy.
As we gaze upon this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our past for future generations to learn from and appreciate. It serves as a reminder that history is not just found in textbooks but all around us if we take the time to look closely.
