EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting scene of water nymphs calling out to the legendary ship, Argo. Illustrated by Howard Davie for Charles Kingsley's "The Heroes of Greek Fairy Tales" this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness a group of ethereal water nymphs gracefully sailing alongside the Argo. With their magical lyres in hand, they create an aura of mysticism and allure. The nymphs' delicate figures contrast against the rugged rocks that surround them, emphasizing their otherworldly presence. At the helm stands Orpheus, a renowned hero and minstrel known for his musical prowess. His skillful hands guide both ship and crew through treacherous waters as he succumbs to the nymphs' enchanting charm. The maiden-like figures exude grace and elegance as they beckon him towards unknown adventures. The Argo itself symbolizes bravery and exploration, representing an epic expedition undertaken by heroic Argonauts. This illustration transports us into a world where mythical creatures coexist with mortal heroes on extraordinary quests. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print evokes a sense of wonderment and fascination that is characteristic of Greek mythology. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient tales filled with adventure, magic, and timeless beauty.
