EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of Lucian, 1521, a significant piece of literature from the 16th century. Printed in Cambridge in 1893, this edition holds immense historical value. Lucian, a renowned Greek rhetorician and satirical author who lived between 120 and c180 AD, left an indelible mark on ancient literature. The intricate illustration featured on this title page is extracted from A Short History of the English People by John Richard Green. This beautifully illustrated edition was published by Macmillan and Co in London and New York in 1893. The monochrome image transports us back to Rome during its heyday as it depicts scenes that reflect both satire and rhetoric. As we delve into this remarkable print, we are reminded of Italy's rich cultural heritage as the birthplace of Latin literature. The combination of elements from two different centuries - the sixteenth-century text with nineteenth-century illustrations - adds another layer to our understanding of history's evolution. Preserved through time by The Print Collector, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Lucian's enduring legacy but also the artistic talents displayed by John Richard Green in his illustrative work for A Short History of the English People. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences across generations.
