EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of The Straits of Messina, with the majestic Mount Etna standing tall in the distance. Taken from The Picturesque Mediterranean, Volume 3, published by Cassell and Co. Ltd. in the late 19th century, this engraving captures a picturesque scene that transports us to Italy's enchanting shores. In this image, a fishing boat peacefully rests on the shore while its net lies nearby, evidence of a successful day at sea for the diligent fisherman. The tranquil beach and coast create a serene atmosphere as we imagine ourselves strolling along these idyllic surroundings. The strait acts as a passage connecting Sicily to mainland Italy and adds an element of grandeur to this already breathtaking view. As our gaze extends towards the horizon, we are greeted by the awe-inspiring sight of Mount Etna towering over everything else. This active volcano stands as both an emblematic symbol and natural wonder of Sicily. Portrayed here is not just a mere landscape but also a glimpse into history; it offers us insight into life during that era when Messine was known for its bustling port activity. With every detail meticulously engraved by English School artists from centuries past, this print serves as an exquisite piece of art that allows us to appreciate nature's splendor and reflect upon our connection with historical landscapes like never before.
