EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Graeco-Turkish War, the Pass of Thermopylae" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the dramatic topography of Mount Oeta and Mount Othrys as it depicts the famous pass of Thermopylae. The scene transports us to ancient Greece during the Greco-Turkish War, specifically illustrating a crucial battle that took place at this strategic location. The Pass of Thermopylae holds immense historical significance as it was here that King Leonidas and his brave Spartan warriors fought valiantly against overwhelming Persian forces in 480 BC. Through intricate engraving techniques, every detail is meticulously captured - from the rugged terrain to Lamia's cityscape nestled amidst nature's grandeur. The composition skillfully portrays both the beauty and treacherous nature of this mountainous region. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of heroic battles but also of how art can transport us through time. This particular illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on May 29,1897, allowing readers to visualize and connect with distant events. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and Fine Art Finder's collection, we now have access to this remarkable piece that encapsulates both artistic mastery and historical significance. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with epic tales of courage and sacrifice.
