EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from Mary Cowden Clarke's "World Noted Women" transports us back to ancient Greece, offering a glimpse into the life of Aspasia of Milet. The engraving, created by Pierre Gustave Eugene Staal in 1858, beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable woman. Aspasia, known as the consort of Pericles and believed to have been born in Miletus, is portrayed here with an air of intelligence and grace. Her imagined portrait exudes strength and confidence as she gazes off into the distance. The artist has depicted her in a three-quarter length pose, emphasizing her regal stature. Dressed in Grecian attire, Aspasia embodies both beauty and intellect. This print allows us to imagine what it must have been like for her during this pivotal period in history when women's voices were often silenced. As one of the few notable women from antiquity whose name has survived through historical records, Aspasia stands as a symbol of female empowerment. The attention to detail in this engraving is exquisite; every line seems purposeful and deliberate. It serves as a testament not only to Staal's artistic talent but also to his deep appreciation for classical aesthetics. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on the lives and contributions of extraordinary women throughout history. It reminds us that their stories deserve recognition and celebration even centuries later.
