EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Patras, the Seat of the Provisional Government at the Beginning of the Revolution in Greece" takes us back to a significant moment in Greek history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into Patras during a time of revolution and change. The image showcases Patras as a coastal city with its shoreline stretching out towards the sea. In the foreground, we see boats and tugboats dotting the waters, hinting at bustling maritime activity. The presence of these vessels suggests that transport played a crucial role in connecting Patras to other parts of Greece during this period. At closer inspection, one can spot several figures on board some of these boats. These individuals might represent members or supporters of the provisional government who had gathered here at Patras to lead and organize their revolutionary efforts. The overall atmosphere exudes both anticipation and determination as this historic movement unfolds. The coastline serves as a symbolic backdrop for this pivotal moment when Greece embarked on its path towards independence. Preserved within private collections until now, this engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on November 15th, 1862. Its rediscovery allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as it immortalizes an important chapter in Greek history - one that forever changed their destiny.
