EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the groundbreaking excavation work of Heinrich Schliemann, a renowned German archaeologist, at the ancient city of Troy in the 19th century. In this colour engraving from the era, we see Schliemann meticulously uncovering the walls of the acropolis with determination and precision. Schliemann's excavations at Troy were instrumental in reshaping our understanding of ancient history and mythology. His discoveries provided tangible evidence that validated Homer's epic poems, such as the Iliad and Odyssey, which had long been considered purely fictional tales. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to a time when Schliemann's passion for archaeology led him on a quest to unearth the mysteries buried beneath layers of time. The intricate details captured in this engraving serve as a testament to his dedication and perseverance in unraveling the secrets hidden within these ancient ruins. This print not only showcases Schliemann's pioneering work but also serves as a reminder of the importance of archaeological exploration in preserving our cultural heritage. It is a visual representation of how one man's curiosity and ambition can have a lasting impact on our understanding of the past.
