EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print titled "Consulting the Oracle of Delphi" we are transported back to ancient Greece, where a priestess engages in a profound consultation with the renowned Oracle of Delphi. The image, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. The scene depicts a momentous occasion as individuals seek guidance from the revered oracle. With its educational card origins, this print serves as a visual representation of Greek culture and religion during antiquity. The priestess, adorned in traditional attire, stands at the center of attention while visitors eagerly await their turn to consult her for prophecies about their future. Delphi itself was considered one of the most sacred sites in all of Greece, known for its divination practices and religious significance. As we gaze upon this antique masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into history and experiencing firsthand the power and wisdom that emanated from these ancient rituals. This artwork not only offers us a glimpse into ancient Greek society but also invites contemplation on our own quest for knowledge and guidance.

Consulting the Oracle of Delphi is more than just an artistic portrayal; it is a testament to our eternal fascination with unlocking life's mysteries through faith and spirituality.
