EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Jannina and the Greek Frontier" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The image showcases the ancient city of Jannina, nestled amidst the breathtaking topography of Epirus, Greece. As we explore this print, our eyes are drawn to Mount Olympus towering majestically in the distance. The scene depicted here is tied to the Berlin Conference of 1880, which aimed to resolve territorial disputes and redefine borders. This particular illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News on July 10th of that year. It serves as a visual representation of the conference's impact on Epirus and Thessaly regions. The intricately detailed engraving transports us to an era when political negotiations shaped landscapes and altered national boundaries. We can almost imagine witnessing these discussions firsthand as diplomats debated over ceded territories and capital placements. Through this artwork, we gain insight into historical events that have left lasting imprints on both physical geography and cultural identity. It reminds us how art can serve as a powerful medium for documenting pivotal moments in time. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance within historical context. It invites contemplation about past struggles for power and land while celebrating the enduring beauty of Greece's natural wonders like Mount Olympus
