EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us to the ancient ruins of the Castle of Ulysses at Aeto, Ithaca. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the rich history and mythical allure of this legendary castle. The crumbling stone walls and scattered debris evoke a sense of mystery and wonder as we imagine the stories that unfolded within these very walls. It is said that this was once the home of Ulysses, the hero from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey". As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel a connection to the past; a glimpse into a time long gone but forever etched in our collective memory. The attention to detail in every stroke captures both the grandeur and decay of this once majestic fortress. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for "The Illustrated Universal Gazetteer" edited by William Francis Ainsworth in 1863. Its inclusion in such a prestigious publication speaks volumes about its historical significance. Now preserved within a private collection, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their remnants. It invites us to delve deeper into our own imaginations and explore the mysteries that lie hidden beneath layers of time. With its timeless appeal and artistic mastery, this engraving stands as testament to both our curiosity about history and our desire to connect with it on a profound level.
