EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Gate of the Lions at Mycenae, a remarkable architectural marvel from ancient Greece. Built around 1250 BC during the Bronze Age, this gate served as the main entrance to the fortified citadel of Mycenae in southern Greece. The photograph was taken in 1890 by an unknown creator and is featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier. The Gate of the Lions stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city. Its imposing structure features two massive stone lions perched atop pillars, guarding its entrance with an air of regality. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within centuries. Intriguingly, amidst this grandeur lies a group of people captured in the background - men, women, and children who unknowingly become part of this historical documentation. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of how life once thrived within these walls. This print not only captures a significant archaeological site but also serves as a window into Greek history and culture. It reminds us that even after thousands of years have passed since its creation, art continues to transcend time and connect us with our past.
