EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Iliad: Penthesileia and her Amazons" an exquisite engraving by George Percy Jacomb-Hood. The artwork, part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient Greek epic poem. Intriguingly, this illustration was created for "The Boys Iliad" by Walter Copland Perry, with breathtaking illustrations by Jacomb Hood. Published in 1902 by Macmillan, the book aimed to introduce young readers to the timeless tale of the Trojan War. Penthesileia and her fierce tribe of Amazons take center stage in this engraving. As legendary warriors from Greek mythology, they embody strength and courage on the battlefield. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he brings these mythical figures to life through intricate lines and masterful shading. "The Iliad" itself is a monumental work attributed to Homer that recounts the events surrounding the Trojan War. This epic poem has captivated audiences for centuries with its vivid characters and gripping narrative. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in ancient history. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with tales of heroism and conflict throughout generations.
