EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sports of Greek Girls, 1890" takes us back to the ancient world of Greece. The creator remains unknown, but their work has captured a beautiful moment in history. From the renowned book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier, this image showcases the early and Greek history that continues to fascinate us. In this scene from the 9th century BC, we see a group of young girls engaging in various sports and pastimes. They are dressed in traditional attire, seated on swings suspended from sturdy pillars. With joyous expressions on their faces, they swing back and forth with grace and enthusiasm. The setting is outdoors, surrounded by columns that evoke a sense of timelessness. These pillars stand as witnesses to centuries gone by while providing an idyllic backdrop for these spirited girls. What strikes us most about this image is not only the physical activity but also the strong bond between these young friends. Their friendship radiates through their interactions as they pull each other higher into the air. This monochrome engraving brings ancient Greece to life once again—a reminder of how playfulness transcends time and culture. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of sport and camaraderie throughout human history. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this historic illustration today—an invaluable glimpse into our shared past.
