EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Comes to the Second, 1866" transports us back in time to a mythical world of love and sisterhood. Designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones for The Tale of Cupid & Psyche, this woodcut was skillfully crafted by William Morris in 1866. The scene depicts two animated female figures engaged in an intense conversation outside a classical Roman house. The sisters lean towards each other, their expressions filled with curiosity and intrigue. It is as if they are discussing a secret or embarking on a quest together. The shuttered windows behind them add an air of mystery to the scene, hinting at hidden desires or forbidden love. In this monochrome masterpiece, the artist beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology and pre-Raphaelite art. The intricate details bring life to every element – from the flowing garments worn by the women to the architectural features of the building they stand beside. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where ancient tales come alive through artistry and imagination. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these mythological stories continue to captivate our hearts and minds.
