LIKE SHIPS UPON THE SEA, DRAWN BY SYDNEY HALL, 1883; " Towards sundown we were right in the midst of the paludi, and we halted to rest. Such a wild scene of desolation! I can see it now. A great shallow pool of water, like a plate of blue steel, the blood-red sun flaming behind a tangle of trees, and one black-muzzled buffalo standing knee-deep in the water, and glaring at us like a devil!"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "Like Ships Upon the Sea" drawn by Sydney Hall in 1883, transports us to a moment of awe-inspiring beauty and desolation. As the sun begins its descent towards sundown, we find ourselves right in the heart of the paludi, a vast marshland. We pause to rest and take in the wild scene before us. The image depicts a great shallow pool of water resembling a plate of blue steel, reflecting the blood-red hues of the setting sun behind a tangled mass of trees. Amidst this hauntingly beautiful landscape stands an imposing black-muzzled buffalo, knee-deep in water. Its piercing gaze fixates on our presence with an intensity that seems almost otherworldly. Sydney Hall's illustrative technique captures every intricate detail with remarkable precision and skill. This engraved image serves as both a historic artifact from the 19th century and an artistic masterpiece that embodies Victorian aesthetics. With its retro style and vintage charm, this print from Liszt Collection evokes nostalgia for bygone eras while showcasing the enduring power of art to transport us across time and space. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, it adds depth to any collection dedicated to preserving history through visual storytelling
