Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890). 1869 engraving of the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. Schliemann is best known as the discoverer of the ruins of the legendary city of Troy. He devoted himself to finding the truth behind the ancient Greek legends, particularly the account of the Trojan War in Homers Iliad.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1869 depicts the renowned German archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890). Known as a pioneer in his field, Schliemann dedicated himself to unraveling the truth behind ancient Greek legends, particularly the epic tale of the Trojan War described in Homer's Iliad. His relentless pursuit led him to discover ruins at Hissarlik, Turkey in 1870, which he initially believed to be Homeric Troy but are now considered an earlier version. In this portrait, Schliemann's bearded countenance exudes determination and curiosity as he gazes directly at the camera. The illustration captures his passion for uncovering history's secrets and sheds light on his significant contributions to archaeological research. Throughout his career, Schliemann continued excavating various sites such as Mycenae, Ithaca, Orchomenus, and Tiryns. His discoveries not only expanded our understanding of ancient civilizations but also ignited widespread fascination with archaeology. This historical print serves as a testament to Schliemann's unwavering dedication and impact on the field of archaeology. Its monochrome aesthetic evokes a sense of nostalgia for bygone eras while preserving an important moment in time. As we admire this vintage artwork today, we pay tribute to Heinrich Schliemann's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential figures in uncovering humanity's past.
