EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure - the "Map of Northern & Central Greece, 1890". Created by an unknown artist, this antique map takes us back to the ancient times of Thessaly, a traditional region in Ancient Greece. During the Mycenaean period, Thessaly flourished as an important city until it faced invasion by the Persians in 480 BC. The detailed engraving on this aged piece is truly remarkable. It was originally featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. I - Early and Greek History" by Edmund Ollier, published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this historic illustration. As we explore this map further, we can trace our fingers along its lines to discover various regions within Northern and Central Greece during that era. This artifact not only provides geographical information but also serves as a window into Greco-Persian wars and other significant events from that time. Preserved over centuries with care and attention to detail, this print reminds us of the rich history embedded within every corner of our world. It stands as a testament to human curiosity about our pasts while offering insights into ancient cultures for generations to come.
