Prints & Engravings of Famous Places




Pictured in this entry is 1914 print depicting one of the most historical structures: The Parthenon. This ancient temple is located in the city of Athens, Greece. It is in the Acropolis and was dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena. It was built over the period 447 to 438 BC. It is considered by historians to be the most important surviving piece of architecture of classical Greece. Buildings such as these are often the subject of print makers.
