EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration, we witness the heroic Jason as he fearlessly tears the golden fleece from a tree trunk. The artwork, created by Howard Davie, beautifully depicts a scene from Charles Kingsley's renowned book "The Heroes of Greek Fairy Tales". Jason's valiant act is part of his epic journey with the Argonauts to Colchis. With his helmet and tunic adorning him, he possesses an air of determination and bravery. As if under a spell, a dragon guard stands charmed by Jason's presence while nearby an enchanting female figure watches over them. Surrounded by the mystical woodland, young boys play their lyres in harmony with nature's melody. A sleeping serpent coils peacefully at their feet as they create music that lulls even wild creatures into slumber. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the coveted golden fleece itself - shimmering with its divine allure atop the tree trunk. Its significance lies not only in its beauty but also in its power to bestow great fortune upon those who possess it. Through this vivid artwork, we are transported into a world where heroes embark on perilous quests and mythical creatures roam freely. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient tales and our eternal desire for adventure and triumph against all odds.
