EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned French archaeologists Marcel-Auguste and Jane Dieulafoy in action during their expedition to the ancient Persian city of Susa in 1885-1886. The chromolitho, created by a talented artist from the French School in the early 20th century, showcases the couple's remarkable discovery of a lion frieze from the Palace of Artaxerxes II. Marcel-Auguste and Jane Dieulafoy were pioneers in their field, dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of Persia's rich history. Their educational card became part of a series on famous explorers, highlighting their significant contributions to archaeological exploration. In this image, we witness Jane Dieulafoy excavating alongside her husband with unwavering determination and expertise. Her presence challenges traditional gender roles as she fearlessly delves into ruins and unearths historical treasures. The lion frieze depicted here symbolizes power and majesty, offering valuable insights into ancient Persian artistry. This extraordinary find adds another layer to our understanding of Artaxerxes II's opulent palace. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in archaeological history.
