Hi, I'm Pericles of Athens, and welcome to my gallery page of photos I have taken myself. Most of the artwork in these images come from the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., while others come from books I own, and the images of the last section are simply public domain pictures of stamps that I've uploaded.
