EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Greek marble sculpture known as "Feet, olive tree and serpent" from the Parthenon in Athens. The engraving, created by Henry Corbould in the 19th century, beautifully captures the intricate details of this masterpiece. The sculpture features an olive tree intertwined with a serpent, symbolizing the mythological story of Athena's gift to Athens. This illustration is taken from "Description of the Collection of Ancient Marbles in the British Museum" published in 1830. The image not only highlights the artistry and craftsmanship of ancient Greece but also provides insights into their religious beliefs and mythology. The presence of marbles suggests its significance as a parlour game during that era.
