EDITORS COMMENTS

Housed in a private collection, this artwork is a part of the renowned series "Illustrations of School Classics" curated and described by G F Hill in 1903. The image has been digitally cleaned to preserve its original beauty. "Arethusa" depicts a mesmerizing scene from ancient Syracuse, capturing the essence of classical history. The intricate details on this silver decadrachm coin come alive through the skilled craftsmanship of the engraver.

The historical significance of this piece cannot be overstated; it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure and timeless appeal of classical art. As we admire this remarkable print, let us delve into our imaginations and transport ourselves back to ancient times when legends like Arethusa roamed freely. Let her story inspire us to appreciate both the beauty found in nature and the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our world today.
