1658 Beast Chimera Edward Greek Mythology Nude Lamia Topsell
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "LAMIA MONSTER, 1658" transports us back to the intriguing world of Greek mythology. Created by Edward Topsell for his renowned book "A History of Four-Footed Beasts" this artwork showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The Lamia Monster depicted in this print is a fascinating chimera, combining various elements from different creatures. With its powerful body and four legs, it exudes strength and mystery. The intricate lines etched into the woodcut bring out every scale and feature, making it seem almost lifelike. Topsell's work not only captures the essence of Greek mythology but also reflects the artistic style prevalent during that era. The use of nudity in this piece adds an additional layer of symbolism, representing vulnerability or perhaps even temptation. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from 1658 London, we can't help but marvel at how art has evolved over time while still retaining its ability to captivate our imagination. This woodcut serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythical creatures throughout history and their enduring presence in our collective consciousness.
