EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Hera has sent us a pilot; Let us follow the cunning bird" artist Howard Davie transports us to ancient Greece, where legendary tales and mythical creatures come to life. The print is an illustration for "The Heroes or Greek Fairy Tales" published by Raphael Tuck around 1900. The scene depicts a group of brave sailors aboard a boat, sailing through the vast sea towards their destination in Colchis. Guiding them on their perilous journey is a magnificent sea bird, believed to be sent by the goddess Hera herself. With its keen instincts and wisdom, the bird serves as their trusted pilot, leading them safely through treacherous waters. Davie's vibrant colors bring out the beauty of this ancient world while capturing the sense of adventure and wonder that permeates Greek mythology. The intricate details in both the boat and the surrounding wildlife transport viewers back in time, allowing them to immerse themselves in these timeless stories. This lithograph not only showcases Davie's artistic talent but also pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of Greece. It reminds us of how myths and legends continue to captivate our imagination across generations, offering valuable lessons about courage, determination, and faith. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that sometimes it takes following a cunning guide – whether real or mythical – to navigate life's challenges successfully.
