EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a portrait of Pericles, an influential Greek statesman, orator, and general of Athens during the 5th century BC. The image showcases his bearded face and distinguished appearance, reflecting the nobility and power he possessed. Pericles played a crucial role in leading his countrymen through the early years of the Peloponnesian War while also promoting arts, literature, and architectural projects at the Acropolis. The photograph is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Greece's golden age when great minds like Pericles shaped history with their political prowess. The image highlights not only Pericles' military achievements but also his dedication to cultural development as seen through his involvement in building structures at the Acropolis. This engraving serves as a reminder of how one person can leave an indelible mark on history through their leadership and vision. As we gaze upon this print today, it transports us back to a time when Athens flourished under Pericles' guidance – a testament to human potential even centuries later.
