Hi, I'm Pericles of Athens, and welcome to my gallery page of photos I have taken myself or have scanned. Many of these images are photos I took in museums. Others come from books I own or have checked out from libraries. Some are simply public domain pictures of stamps that I've uploaded. There are also a lot of pictures I've uploaded from GaryLeeTodd.com, a site managed by a professor who has given me permission to upload his photos.

These following images I've uploaded were not taken in any of my own photographs, but they were published in a Chinese Ming Dynasty encyclopedia in the year 1637, which makes them all public domain.
