EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "A Morning Ride in Athens, Greece" takes us back in time to an era of exploration and adventure. The image depicts a weary traveler who, after trudging through the streets of Athens for hours, finds solace at a picturesque farm. In need of respite, the tired wanderer spots a horse grazing peacefully and decides to strike up negotiations with the farmer. Despite language barriers, our protagonist manages to communicate their intentions using rudimentary Greek phrases and hand gestures learned during their school days. Through this impromptu exchange, they successfully secure the hire of this majestic animal for the remainder of their journey towards Mount Olympus. The engraving itself is a testament to the illustrative techniques prevalent during that period. Its vintage charm evokes nostalgia as we delve into history's embrace. This Victorian-style artwork transports us back to an age where such engravings were highly sought-after collectibles. As we gaze upon this historic art piece from 1890, we are reminded of how far we have come while appreciating the beauty and craftsmanship that defined artistic expression in those times. The Liszt Collection has once again curated a remarkable glimpse into our past with this stunning retro-styled print from Arkheia's nineteenth-century collection.
