EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 18th century, we see Narcissus gazing into a fountain and becoming enamoured of his own reflection. The mythological figure from ancient Greece is depicted here in a moment of self-absorption and seduction, as he falls in love with himself at first sight.
The intricate copperplate engraving by W. Walker beautifully captures the essence of Narcissus' story, where his obsession with his own beauty leads to tragic consequences. The detail in the illustration by C. Monnet brings to life the lush surroundings of the forest where Narcissus encounters his reflection for the first time.
As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the timeless themes of vanity, love, and transformation that have captivated artists and storytellers for centuries. The delicate lines and shading in this engraving evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation as we ponder the nature of narcissism and self-love.
This print from The Copper Plate Magazine or Monthly Treasure transports us back to a world where myths and legends held sway over human imagination, inviting us to reflect on our own desires and obsessions. It serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes what we seek outside ourselves may be found within – if only we dare to look beyond our own reflections.
