EDITORS COMMENTS

This woodcut print from Edward Topsell's "The History of Four-Footed Beasts" transports us back to the intriguing world of mythical creatures. The focal point of this image is the fearsome Manticore, a legendary beast with a lion's body and a human-like face. Its grotesque appearance is accentuated by its long, sharp teeth and piercing eyes that seem to stare right through you. The artist masterfully captures the essence of this creature, showcasing its distinctive features such as its powerful mane and muscular physique. The Manticore's most striking attribute is undoubtedly its tail, which ends in a cluster of deadly spikes resembling barbed arrows ready to strike at any moment. As we delve into the details of this woodcut print, we are transported to 17th century London where Topsell's book was first published. This illustration serves as a testament to both Topsell's meticulous research on various beasts and his artistic talent in bringing them to life on paper. While some may find the Manticore unsettling or even repulsive due to its peculiar combination of animal and human traits, there is no denying that it holds an undeniable allure for those fascinated by mythology and folklore. This woodcut print stands as a testament not only to our enduring fascination with these strange creatures but also as a reminder of humanity's boundless imagination when it comes to creating mythical beings that defy logic and reason.
