EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching from 1666, we are transported back in time to witness a tender moment between a soldier and a woman. The print, created by the talented Bohemian artist Wenceslaus Hollar, captures the essence of love and longing amidst the chaos of war-torn Europe. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit room, where a brave soldier stands on the left side, his head slightly bowed as he bends down to kiss the outstretched hand of an elegant woman. She stands with grace and poise, her profile illuminated by the flickering candlelight that casts shadows across their faces. A fire crackles in the grate nearby, sending plumes of smoke swirling into the air. Candlesticks adorn a mantelpiece adorned with intricate carvings while a waiting woman attends to her duties at a table nearby. A chair and chest complete this richly detailed illustration. This poignant image is part of John Ogilby's "Ephesian Matron" series within his second collection of fables published in 1675. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact, transporting us back to London during one of its most tumultuous periods. As we gaze upon this print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we cannot help but be moved by its timeless beauty and profound storytelling.
