EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bear us swiftly, Boat of Mananan, to the Garden of Hesperides" takes us on a mythical journey back to ancient Ireland. Created in 1910 by artist Stephen Reid for Thomas William Rolleston's book "The High Deeds of Finn" this illustration depicts a scene from the legendary tale known as the Quest of the Sons of Turenn. In this vibrant image, we see a group of men aboard a boat as they navigate through flowing waters towards their destination. The boat itself is named after Mananan, an important figure in Irish mythology associated with the sea and navigation. The men are determined and focused, ready to embark on their perilous quest. The Garden of Hesperides holds great significance in Greek mythology as it was said to be a place where golden apples grew. In this Irish adaptation, it represents an elusive paradise that these brave adventurers seek. The use of color adds depth and richness to the artwork, bringing life to both the characters and their surroundings. It transports us into a world filled with legends and folklore. This print not only captures our imagination but also serves as a reminder of Ireland's rich cultural heritage. It showcases how myths and legends have shaped its history while inviting us to explore its enchanting landscapes through storytelling and artistry.
