EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving of "Clyte" by renowned artist John Tenniel. The artwork, held in a private collection, depicts Clyte, a legendary figure from English literature. Standing beside him is his own creation - a statue of the gentle and graceful Clyte. This enchanting illustration was originally featured in Walter Thornbury's book "Historical and Legendary Ballads and Songs" published by Chatto and Windus in 1876. The image transports us to an era steeped in history and legend, where ballads and songs were cherished forms of storytelling. Tenniel's intricate engravings beautifully capture the essence of this mythical tale, evoking emotions that transcend time. With its roots firmly planted in Germanic culture, this piece resonates with both German and European audiences alike. It serves as a reminder of the rich literary heritage shared across Europe, highlighting connections between different nations within the European Union. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to Northern Germany - a region known for its deep appreciation of art and literature. The delicate details depicted here invite us to explore not only the story behind Clyte but also delve into our own imaginations as we ponder on themes such as creativity, laborious dedication, and the power of artistic expression. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this timeless artwork through their lens; allowing viewers worldwide to appreciate Tenniel's skillful craftsmanship while immersing themselves in centuries-old tales woven into our collective cultural fabric
