EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "Daedalus and Icarus" transports us back to the mythical world of ancient Greece. Created by an unknown artist, this print showcases the timeless tale of Daedalus and his son Icarus. In Greek mythology, Daedalus was a skilled craftsman known for his ingenuity. The image depicts him alongside his young son Icarus as they prepare to embark on their daring flight. Daedalus had constructed wings made from feathers and wax, enabling them to soar through the sky like birds. The intricate details in this engraving bring the mythological characters to life. We can almost feel the excitement and anticipation radiating from both father and son as they stand on a rocky ledge overlooking the vast expanse before them. The artist's skillful use of shading creates depth, enhancing our perception of distance between earth and sky. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the cautionary lesson embedded within this ancient story – that ambition must be tempered with wisdom. For it was Icarus' youthful exuberance that ultimately led to tragedy when he flew too close to the sun, causing his wings to melt and sending him plummeting into the sea below. Leonard de Selva's expert photography captures every delicate line etched into this historical print held at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. This stunning visual representation serves as a testament not only to artistic talent but also to humanity
