EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from "The Story of Greece" transports us back to ancient Athens, where Solon the wise lawgiver stands as a symbol of wisdom and justice. Painted by the talented Walter Crane in the 1930s, this colour lithograph captures the essence of Solon's influential role in shaping Athenian society. Solon is depicted here in his distinguished statesman attire, exuding authority and intellect. His gaze is focused yet compassionate, reflecting his commitment to creating fair laws that would benefit all citizens. The attention to detail in this print allows us to appreciate not only Solon's regal appearance but also the intricate costumes worn by those around him. Intriguingly, weapons are scattered across the scene, hinting at a conflict that may have influenced Solon's decisions as a lawgiver. This serves as a reminder of Athens' tumultuous history and its encounters with formidable adversaries like Persia. As we delve into Greek history through this artwork, we are reminded of how pivotal figures like Solon shaped our understanding of democracy and governance today. This print invites us to reflect on their contributions while immersing ourselves in an ancient world filled with war and political struggles.

It continues to inspire viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance – an enduring testament to both Crane's talent as an illustrator and Solon's enduring legacy as one of
