    The Maid of Athens, 1847

    William Holl (engraver); Charles Landseer (artist)

    London: Lloyd Brothers, 22 Ludgate Hill. Fine steel engraving. 41 x 31 cm.
     

    Byron wrote The Maid of Athens, ere we part in 1810 and dedicated it to a young Greek girl, believed to likely be Theresa Macri. William Holl the Younger (1807–1871) was a British engraver who exhibited at the Royal Academy, and Charles Landseer (1799–1879) was an English painter, mainly of historical and literary subjects. Byron’s literary figures were a popular subject for artists and publications, with the Maid of Athens arguably the most popular of all his heroines.
