EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Paestum, located in Campania, Italy. The image showcases the restored Temple at Paestum, a magnificent architectural feat dating back to the 5th century BC. Built by unknown craftsmen around 450 BC, this temple is known as the Temple of Hera II. The photograph was captured in 1890 by an anonymous creator and featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier. It portrays a man walking amidst the ruins of this historic site, adding a sense of scale and emphasizing its grandeur. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to the image while highlighting intricate details such as the Doric columns that adorn the temple's facade. This engraving transports us into a world where religion played a central role in society and architecture stood as a testament to human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how history intertwines with our present-day lives. It serves as both an educational tool for those interested in ancient Greek history and artistry while also evoking feelings of awe and wonderment for anyone who appreciates beauty through time. Let this print be a window into another era—a reminder that even centuries later, remnants of our past continue to captivate our imagination and inspire us today.
