EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Often she would stand upon the walls of Troy" transports us to ancient Greece, immersing us in the rich history and timeless stories that have shaped our world. The vibrant colors of this lithograph by Walter Crane beautifully depict a scene from Mary Macgregor's book, "The Story of Greece". In this image, we witness a powerful moment as a Greek woman stands atop the towering walls of Troy. Her gaze is fixed on the horizon, her stance exuding strength and determination. Perhaps she is Briseis, caught between loyalty to her people and her forbidden love for Achilles. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by these ancient civilizations. The walls themselves symbolize both physical fortification and metaphorical barriers that divide nations and cultures throughout history. As we delve into this visual narrative, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the triumphs and tragedies experienced by those who walked before us. It serves as a poignant reminder that our present is intricately woven with threads from our past. This print invites us to explore not only the tales of heroes like Achilles but also to reflect on our own place within an ever-evolving world. It encourages us to embrace knowledge from diverse sources - literature, art, history - enabling us to better understand ourselves and appreciate humanity's collective journey through time.
