EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "How Theseus Slew the Minotaur" transports us into the heart of an ancient legend. Created by Henry Justice Ford and part of a private collection, this print captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The scene depicts Theseus, a heroic figure from Greek folklore, bravely confronting the fearsome Minotaur. With his sword raised high and determination etched on his face, Theseus prepares to deliver the fatal blow that will end the reign of terror caused by this half-man, half-bull creature. Ford's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving. The intricate lines bring life to each character and convey their emotions with remarkable clarity. The viewer can almost feel the tension in the air as Theseus faces off against his formidable foe within the labyrinthine walls. This image originates from Andrew Lang's book "Tales of Troy and Greece" published in 1907. It serves as a visual representation of one of many captivating stories passed down through generations about heroes battling mythical creatures. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded not only of ancient legends but also how art has long been used to preserve and share these timeless tales.
