EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting coast of Samos in 1890. The image showcases the majestic Ionic temple nestled within the Heraion of Samos, a revered sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Hera. This Greek island in the east Aegean has a rich history that dates back to the flourishing 6th century BC. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this location holds immense significance as it is believed to be the birthplace of Pythagoras, renowned mathematician and philosopher. The photograph was featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. I - Early and Greek History" by Edmund Ollier, published by Cassell and Company Ltd in London, Paris, and Melbourne during that era. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures not only the architectural grandeur of ancient Greece but also offers a glimpse into its cultural heritage. Despite being captured over a century ago, this image continues to evoke feelings of awe and wonder. As we gaze upon this scene from long ago, we are transported through time to an era where gods were worshipped fervently amidst stunning landscapes like these. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with history's ruins and monuments while highlighting humanity's eternal quest for spirituality.
