EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to the ancient city of Athens, where history and art intertwine. The image showcases a breathtaking view of the Temple of the Winds, an architectural marvel that has stood the test of time. Its intricate design and grandeur are beautifully captured in this engraving, which was created by William Stukeley in 1776. Amidst this majestic backdrop, our attention is drawn to a remarkable sculpture - a Lion Calf made entirely out of brass. Standing proudly by the port of Athens, it exudes strength and grace while adding an element of mystique to this already enchanting scene. The print is part of "Itinerarium curiosum" a comprehensive account compiled by Baker and Leigh that explores antiquities and extraordinary wonders found in nature or art during travels through Great Britain. This particular image graces Plate 5, following the second page of the preface. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded not only of Athens' rich cultural heritage but also its enduring allure for travelers throughout centuries. It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity while evoking a sense of wonder at both natural beauty and man-made marvels.
