EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in ancient Greek history. The image showcases Timoleon, the son of Timodemus from Corinth, who lived between 411-337 BC. Renowned as a Greek statesman, Timoleon played a pivotal role in reforming Syracuse. Even after retiring, his wisdom and insight were highly valued by the community. Despite being blind during this period of his life, Timoleon's presence remained influential. In an inspiring display of determination and respect for his opinions, he was carried to the Syracusan assembly where he shared his valuable insights with fellow citizens. The photograph originates from Cassells Universal History published in 1888 and is an archival engraving that offers us a glimpse into this remarkable era. It transports us back to ancient Greece when great minds like Timoleon shaped their societies through leadership and vision. This vintage illustration serves as a testament to the enduring impact of individuals who dedicate themselves to public service and strive for positive change within their communities. It reminds us that even in times of adversity or physical limitations, true leaders can continue making invaluable contributions. As we admire this historical picture print by Ken Welsh from Design Pics, let it inspire us to appreciate the legacy left behind by those who have dedicated their lives to improving society for future generations.
