EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the portrait of Solon, an influential Athenian statesman, lawmaker, and poet who lived from c630 to c560 BC. The image is taken from the book "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. Solon played a crucial role in combating political, economic, and moral decline during his time. He is widely credited with laying the foundations for Athenian democracy through his legislation and reforms. This engraving showcases Solon's profile view with intricate details that highlight his wisdom and authority. The unknown creator of this print skillfully captures Solon's essence as a man of great importance in ancient Greece. His stern expression reflects his determination to bring about positive change for his country. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of Solon but also in its representation of 19th-century artistry. The delicate engravings showcase the talent of Charles Griffin at Richard Griffin & Company. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are reminded of Solon's enduring legacy as a visionary leader who shaped Athens' legal system, economy, literature while upholding morality within society.
