EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Pomona bringing the fruits of the earth to Hygeia" transports us back to the 19th century. Created by M Corquodale, this engraving showcases a concept that combines mythology, religion, and science. In Roman mythology, Pomona was revered as the goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards. Here we see her depicted as a wood nymph gracefully offering an abundant harvest to Hygeia. As the daughter of Asclepius (the god of medicine) and Epione (the goddess of soothing), Hygeia symbolizes health and well-being. The image serves as an advertisement for Enos Fruit Salt - a product associated with promoting good health during that era. The artist cleverly incorporates both mythological elements and scientific advancements into this promotional piece. Through this monochrome portrayal, we witness anticipation in Pomona's expression as she presents her bountiful offerings to Hygeia. This artwork not only highlights the importance of nature's gifts but also emphasizes their connection to overall wellness. M Corquodale skillfully captures the essence of these mythological figures while subtly reminding viewers about Enos Fruit Salt's potential benefits. This print is a testament to how art can seamlessly blend various concepts together – from ancient beliefs to contemporary advertising techniques – all within one striking composition.
