EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a restored general view of Sparta, taken in 1890. The city of Sparta, also known as Lacedaemon, was once a prominent city-state located on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, Ancient Greece. Renowned for its military prowess, Sparta became the dominant land-power around 650 BC. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the grandeur and beauty of this ancient city. The image captures an elevated view that reveals the stunning landscape surrounding Sparta. Majestic mountains serve as a picturesque backdrop while the river gracefully winds through the countryside. Intriguingly, both men and women can be seen scattered throughout this historical scene. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of daily life in ancient times. A group of individuals is captured climbing steps towards what appears to be an important structure or monument within the city. This remarkable engraving is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History". Volume I - Early and Greek History by Edmund Ollier. Published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back centuries ago to witness firsthand the splendor and significance of one of Ancient Greece's most influential cities – Sparta.
