EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a pivotal moment in ancient Greek history. Captured within the frame is Spartan admiral Lysander, standing tall amidst the ruins of Athens, Greece. The year is 404 BC, shortly after the Battle of Aegospotami during the Peloponnesian War. Lysander's presence exudes power and triumph as he oversees the demolition of Athens' formidable walls. This act symbolizes not only his military victory but also marks a significant turning point in Greek history. The once mighty city-state, known for its intellectual and cultural contributions, now lies defeated before its rival. The image itself possesses an archival quality that transports us back to this distant era. Its vintage aesthetic adds depth to our understanding of this historical event while simultaneously reminding us of the passage of time. Ken Welsh's expert engraving brings life to this illustration from "A Popular History of Greece" published in 1887. Through his skillful craftsmanship, we are able to witness firsthand one chapter in humanity's enduring struggle for dominance and survival. As we gaze upon this picture, we cannot help but be reminded that even great civilizations can crumble under the weight of conflict and war. It serves as a poignant reminder that history has much to teach us about ourselves and our collective journey through time.
