EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Salamis Island in the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea, capturing its timeless beauty in 1890. The creator remains unknown, but their lens has immortalized this ancient Greek site where the historic Battle of Salamis took place in 480BC. The image is a reproduction from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. I - Early and Greek History" by Edmund Ollier, published by Cassell and Company Ltd. in London, Paris, and Melbourne during the same year. This engraving showcases an oval-shaped landscape with mountains as a backdrop while sailboats gracefully glide across the tranquil waters. Transportation plays a significant role within this scene as fishing boats dotting the sea emphasize the island's reliance on water transport for trade and livelihoods. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical illustration, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic value and documentary purpose. As we gaze upon this distant era through an oval frame of time, we are reminded of Ancient Greece's rich history and cultural heritage that still fascinates us today. From literature to geography, every aspect of this conceptually striking image invites exploration into our past. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can marvel at these glimpses into history while appreciating how far humanity has come since then — all without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations with Cassell & Co. , ensuring that artistry triumphs over commerce in our appreciation of such treasures.
