"Mount Olympus: A Heavenly Scene of Gods and Giants" In this captivating wood engraving from 1872, we are transported to the majestic Mount Olympus in Washington state.

Similarly, Vulcan chaining Prometheus serves as a reminder that even those who dared challenge divine authority faced dire consequences. Beyond mythology lies historical events captured within engravings such as "The Capture and Release of Colonel Synge" or "Jannina and the Greek Frontier.
