"The Vanquishers of Salamis," a black and white print produced in 1889 by the Gebbie & Husson Company, Ltd., depicts a scene of triumph following a decisive battle. The print portrays a victorious army, their swords raised in victory, as they chase fleeing adversaries. The composition creates a sense of action and excitement, capturing the energy and chaos of the aftermath of a successful military campaign. This historical print, currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, offers a glimpse into the visualization of ancient Greek battles in the late 19th century.
