EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back to the early twentieth century, specifically the 1920s, as it showcases the picturesque island town of Paros in Greece. The print is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for "The World and its People" a comprehensive tour book by Charles F Horne. Paros, located in the Cyclades Islands of Greece, is beautifully depicted with its charming architecture and scenic landscapes. The lithograph captures the essence of this idyllic Greek island, showcasing its unique blend of European and Middle Eastern influences. The image transports us to a time when Paros was less explored but equally enchanting. It invites us to imagine strolling through narrow streets lined with whitewashed buildings adorned with vibrant bougainvillea flowers. We can almost feel the warm Mediterranean breeze as we gaze at this timeless scene. The artist's use of black and white adds an element of nostalgia to the print, emphasizing both the architectural details and natural beauty that make Paros so special. This artwork serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate not only Paros but also how travel illustrations were used to document different cultures during that era. Overall, this lithograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era while celebrating the enduring allure of Paros – an island that continues to captivate visitors from around the world today.
