EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Letter U" by Walter Zweigle takes us on a visual journey through Greek mythology and literature. The artwork, part of the Welt-ABC collection published in Stuttgart around 1894, showcases the adventurous spirit of Ulysses (also known as Odysseus) from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. In this scene, we witness Ulysses bravely navigating his ship through treacherous waters while being attacked by monstrous creatures. Scylla and Hydra, two fearsome mythical beasts, loom menacingly in the background as Ulysses and his crew valiantly defend themselves in their distinctive uniforms. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element contributes to the overall narrative. From the majestic boat itself to the wild animals like aurochs that symbolize strength and power, each component adds depth to this educational illustration. Zweigle's artistic interpretation beautifully captures not only German culture but also European folklore. This print serves as a reminder of how literature transcends borders and unites people across different nations within Europe and beyond. As we admire this stunning piece from our private collection, let us appreciate its ability to transport us into a world where fictional characters come alive amidst fantastical creatures. It reminds us of the enduring power of storytelling throughout history—a testament to humanity's fascination with adventure, heroism, and imagination.
