EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Currier and Ives, created in 1846, depicts a scene from Lord Byron's Romantic narrative poem "Mazeppa". The poem, published in 1819, delves into the early life of Ivan Mazeppa, a Ukrainian Cossack leader. In this particular moment captured on paper, we witness the punishment inflicted upon Mazeppa for his forbidden love affair with a Countess. The image portrays Mazeppa tied naked to a wild horse as he is set loose into the unknown. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and desperation of this dramatic event. As viewers gaze at this illustration, they are transported back to 17th-century Ukraine where legend meets literature.
