Eduard Schaubert (1804-1860), State Architect and Director of Public Works at King Otto’s Court, was an archaeology enthusiast and travelled extensively throughout Greece between 1830-1850. In 1844, he visited Euboea, making detailed recordings of his findings in notebooks. Several years later, in 1850-51, the scholar and diplomat Alexandre Rangabé (1810-1892) also embarked on a tour of Euboea and made a study of his discoveries. The present lot was found in the North-Eastern cemetery in Chalcis, the only one out of the nine recorded by Rangabé at this time to feature a relief. He dated eight of the inscriptions, including this one, to the age of Alexander the Great, based on epigraphical style and the state of preservation of the tombs. In 1844, Rangabé was appointed Professor of Archaeology at the University of Athens and he also headed the Archaeological Society in Athens, with the aim of discovering and preserving ancient ruins. Together with Heinrich Schliemann, he worked extensively on the Acropolis and on the former’s research into the treasure of Troy.
