The new Cicerone at the British Museum
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a fascinating moment in history, as depicted by Henry Marriott Paget's lithograph. This print takes us back to 1911 when the renowned British Museum welcomed its fresh-faced guide, known as the "Cicerone". With an air of confidence and knowledge, this young man leads a group of eager visitors on a whirlwind tour around one of London's most treasured institutions. As we delve into this enchanting scene, we witness the extraordinary task undertaken by our hero – guiding his companions through centuries of antiquity within just one hour. The grand interiors of the museum provide a majestic backdrop for their journey, adorned with statues and sculptures that whisper stories from distant lands. Paget's meticulous engraving skillfully brings to life both men and women who eagerly follow their knowledgeable guide. Their faces reflect awe and curiosity as they soak in every detail presented before them. It is evident that this new Cicerone possesses an exceptional ability to transport his audience back in time through his passionate storytelling. This lithograph not only showcases the beauty and grandeur of the British Museum but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with archaeology and ancient civilizations. It reminds us that museums are not mere repositories of artifacts but gateways to understanding our collective past. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate this historical gem once again, inviting us on our own virtual journey through time within these hallowed halls.
