EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning lithograph titled "Iris" by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The artwork, now held in a private collection, was created as an illustration for Alfred J Church's book "Stories from the Greek Comedians" published by Seeley in 1893. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this litho brings to life the world of ancient Greece. The image depicts Iris, a character from classical Greek theater known for her role as a messenger of the gods. This particular scene captures the essence of comedy and performance that were integral parts of ancient Greek culture. It serves as a reminder of how theater played a significant role in entertaining and educating audiences during that time. The lithograph is inspired by antique illustrations, showcasing the influence of classical art on storytelling throughout history. Its inclusion in Church's book demonstrates how these timeless stories continue to captivate readers even centuries later. Through this photo print, we are transported back to ancient Greece, where plays written by renowned playwrights like Aristophanes delighted audiences with their wit and humor. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact, preserving the rich cultural heritage of Greek drama for generations to come.
