Heinrich Schliemann, (1822-1890), German archaeologist, 1893
Heinrich Schliemann, (1822-1890), German businessman and a pioneer of field archaeology, 1893. Schliemann was an archaeological excavator of Hissarlik, now presumed to be the site of Troy, along with the Mycenaean sites Mycenae and Tiryns. His work lent weight to the idea that Homers Iliad and Virgils Aeneid reflect actual historical events. Along with Arthur Evans, Schliemann was a pioneer in the study of Aegean civilization in the Bronze Age. From The Pictorial Treasury of Famous Men and Famous Deeds published by Frederick Warne and Co. [London and New York, 1893]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Heinrich Schliemann, a prominent German archaeologist and businessman of the 19th century. Taken in 1893, the image captures Schliemann's distinguished features, including his thick moustache and serious expression. Known for his groundbreaking work at archaeological sites such as Hissarlik (presumed to be Troy), Mycenae, and Tiryns, Schliemann played a pivotal role in shedding light on ancient civilizations. Considered a pioneer of field archaeology alongside Arthur Evans, Schliemann's excavations lent credibility to the notion that Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid were based on real historical events. His discoveries contributed significantly to our understanding of Aegean civilization during the Bronze Age. The monochrome portrait reveals Schliemann dressed in formal attire with a jacket befitting his status as both an accomplished businessman and respected scholar. The print is part of "The Pictorial Treasury of Famous Men and Famous Deeds" published by Frederick Warne & Co. , offering readers an insight into influential figures from various fields. This remarkable engraving serves as a testament to Heinrich Schliemann's lasting impact on the world of archaeology while also capturing the essence of an era filled with exploration, discovery, and intellectual curiosity.
