EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, "The Island of Ischia" takes us back to the 19th century and immerses us in the scenic beauty of this Italian gem. The print showcases the picturesque Bay of Naples, with its crystal-clear waters glistening under the warm Mediterranean sun. At the heart of this idyllic landscape stands Mount Epomeo, majestically dominating the skyline. Its imposing presence adds a touch of grandeur to an already breathtaking scene. However, beneath this serene exterior lies a tale of resilience and strength. The island has endured numerous earthquakes throughout its history, including one that devastated Casamicciola in 1881 - just weeks before this illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News. Despite these challenges, Ischia remains a symbol of Italy's enduring spirit and beauty. Its lush greenery and charming villages continue to attract visitors from all corners of the globe who seek solace amidst nature's wonders. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded not only of Ischia's natural allure but also its place within Europe as part of Italy and as a member state within the European Union (EU). It serves as a reminder that even amidst political complexities, art can bridge divides and celebrate shared heritage. Bridgeman Images has captured both the tranquility and resilience encapsulated by "The Island of Ischia" through their expert curation. This print is not merely an image; it is an invitation to explore history, culture, and humanity
