"Philhellenism" is a term appeared in 1761. By 18th century this term was used to mention the ideological and political movement, which developed mostly in Europe and America and aimed to both moral and material support of the Greeks against the Turks during the Revolution of 1821. Philhellenism was expressed in many ways. During many other actions, press campaigns were organized informing people about the Revolution, lithographs were printed and many everyday objects, depicting scenes related to the Greek Revolution such as dishes, soaps and clocks, started traded.
