SCHLIEMANN HEINRICH: (1822-1890) German Archaeologist. A Pioneer in the study of Bronze Age. Schliemann supported the idea that Homer«s Iliad and Virgil«s Aeneid reflect true historical events. Rare A.L.S., `H. Schliemann«, one page, folio, St. Petersburg, 5th January 1856, to F.C Quien, in German. The letter bears to the upper left corner a blind embossed stationery seal ''Henry Schliemann - St. Petersburg'', and relates to the purchase of `72 and 51 Java Indigo crates«, their prices, delivery, etc... At that time Schliemann, through fortunate commercial undertakings, laid the foundation stone for his fortune which later enabled him to excavate in Greece and Asia Minor. With blank address leaf, bearing to the verso few post ink stamps from St. Petersburg, and Amsterdam. Folded, with edges partially trimmed, and corner creases. G £800-1000
