Beschreibung

Rare, large FINE condition montage of nine quality engravings depicting the site of Schliemann's archaeological work at Mycenae, Greece. Featured in The Graphic, a Victorian illustrated periodical, in 1877. Fine quality engravings with wide margins in excellent condition with light central crease. Depicted are the Lion Gate, old City Wall, a wall in Tiryns, Nauplia / Nafplion (3 scenes), Argos, Mdme Schliemann "in the parure of Helen of Troy" and the "Treasury or Tomb" of Agamemnon. Interesting RELATED text to rear about the Schliemann's work at Mycenae that contains, unusually, quite an emphasis on (the second) Mrs Schliemann's efforts and the couple's joint enthusiasm. Sophia (nee Engastromenos) was 17 years old when Schliemann married her after advertising for a wife in Athens.Jewels from "Priam's Treasure" were often worn by Sophia for the public, as is depicted here. Bonus leaf (2 pages) of interesting, unrelated, text and engravings attached to ensure the integrity of the double page spread. Mycenae: a narrative of researches and discoveries was first published in 1878, the year following this feature. Image is degraded and cropped here, the original is larger and pin-sharp.
