EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Fighting Lion of Ancient Rome" takes us back in time to the grandeur and excitement of the Roman Empire. Created by Melville Harden Sidney, this print showcases a thrilling scene from James Greenwood's book "Wild Sports of the World". In this image, we witness a young boy standing bravely before a colossal lion within the walls of an ancient arena. The boy's eyes are filled with determination as he prepares for an epic battle against one of nature's most fearsome creatures. Spectators fill the stands, eagerly awaiting the outcome of this daring encounter. The colosseum looms in the background, its majestic architecture serving as a reminder of Rome's rich history and love for gladiatorial games. This illustration transports us to a world where adventure stories come alive, where children become heroes and face their fears head-on. "The Fighting Lion" not only captures our imagination but also highlights themes such as courage, resilience, and the thrill of competition. It reminds us that even in ancient times, sports played an essential role in shaping society and entertaining audiences. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from history through digital cleaning techniques. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be captivated by its power and transported into a world where wild animals roamed freely and courageous boys dared to challenge them.
