This overview of the famous and pioneering excavations of Heinrich
Schliemann was first published in German in 1889, and in this
extended English translation in 1891. The author, Carl Schuchhardt
(1859 1943), had wide experience of excavations in both Asia Minor
and Europe, and the translator, Eugenie Sellers (1860 1943), was
the first female student of the British School at Athens. The book
begins with a life of Schliemann, who had died in 1890, and goes on
to describe his extraordinary discoveries at Troy and Mycenae, and
his work at Tiryns, Ithaca and Orchomenos. It also contains two
reports of later work at the mound of Hissarlik, the site of Troy,
by Schliemann himself and his assistant Wilhelm Dorpfeld, which had
not been included in the German edition. The book is illustrated
with many line drawings, and includes the famous photograph of
Sophia Schliemann wearing 'the gold of Troy'."
