EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph by Edwin Arthur Norbury, we are transported into the world of Greek Wonder Tales. The image depicts a scene where a great whirlwind has suddenly arisen, carrying away a mother and her child. The intensity of the whirlwind is beautifully captured through vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way he portrays the expressions on both the mother's and child's faces. Fear and astonishment mix with determination as they hold onto each other tightly amidst the chaos surrounding them. This print serves as an illustration for Lucy M J Garnett's translation and editing of Greek Wonder Tales, published in 1913. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Greece, where mythical stories were passed down from generation to generation. The theme of protection and maternal love resonates strongly in this artwork. As viewers, we are left wondering about their fate - will they be carried to safety or face unknown perils? This sense of mystery adds an element of suspense that draws us further into the narrative. Norbury's skillful technique combined with his ability to convey emotion makes this lithograph truly mesmerizing. It reminds us of the power that storytelling holds - transporting us beyond our own reality into fantastical realms filled with wonder and adventure.
