EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Folklore: Gryphon 1887," transports us back in time to an era where mythical creatures were believed to roam the earth. The photograph, taken in the year 1887, depicts a majestic gryphon, a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an serpent's tail, taking flight with a sleeping victim in its clutches. The gryphon, a symbol of power and strength in ancient folklore, is often depicted as a guardian of treasure or a protector of the divine. In this photograph, however, it appears as a fearsome predator, capturing its prey in mid-air. The sleeping victim, oblivious to the danger, adds an element of surprise and intrigue to the scene. The intricate details of the gryphon's body, from the textured scales to the sharp, defined features of its face and wings, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the photographer. The use of natural lighting and the soft focus on the victim create a dreamlike quality to the image, further emphasizing the otherworldly nature of the scene. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of folklore and mythology, offering a glimpse into the imaginations of our ancestors and the stories they once believed. The image, with its timeless beauty and intriguing narrative, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
