EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Anacreon, a Greek lyric poet from the 5th century BC. The portrait showcases a bearded man with a distinguished profile, his face etched with wisdom and experience. Anacreon's contribution to literature is notable for his drinking songs and hymns, which have stood the test of time. The engraving comes from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. It reflects the artistic style of the 19th century while paying homage to an ancient Greek figure who left an indelible mark on poetry. In this image, Anacreon is depicted wearing a laurel wreath atop his head—a symbol of victory and honor in ancient Greece. His gaze seems focused yet contemplative as if he is lost in thought or perhaps composing another masterpiece within his mind. The simplicity of this portrait allows us to appreciate not only Anacreon's physical appearance but also his literary legacy that continues to inspire generations. As we look at this print today, we are reminded of the power of words and music to transcend time and connect us with our shared human history.
