EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph print titled "Down from the height of the air fell Perseus" we are transported to ancient Greece, where myth and legend intertwine. The image depicts a pivotal moment from the Greek fairy tale of Perseus as he descends gracefully towards the land of Ethiops. The artist, Howard Davie, skillfully captures the essence of this mythical scene. Perseus is portrayed in mid-air, his body suspended against a vibrant backdrop that evokes both awe and wonder. His heroic figure exudes strength and determination as he navigates through the heavens towards his destination. This illustration was created for Charles Kingsley's book "The Heroes or Greek Fairy Tales" published by Raphael Tuck around 1910. It beautifully brings to life one chapter in a collection of timeless stories that have captivated generations with their tales of gods, heroes, and fantastical creatures. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the power and allure of ancient myths. They transport us to distant lands filled with adventure and magic while teaching valuable lessons about bravery, perseverance, and triumph over adversity. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with Greek mythology and its ability to ignite our imagination even in modern times. It invites us to delve into these enchanting narratives once again and discover new depths within ourselves through their timeless wisdom.
