Caption: "The Death of Troilus, 1927 - A Captivating Wood Engraving Depicting a Tragic Scene from the Trojan War". This stunning black and white wood engraving, created in 1927 by Eric Gill, captures a poignant moment from Greek mythology. The scene portrays the heart-wrenching death of Troilus, a young Trojan prince during the legendary Trojan War. Set against an exterior backdrop near the river Scamander in Paris, this monochrome illustration showcases intricate details such as flowing robes and spears that bring authenticity to this historical event. The woman kneeling beside Troilus adds emotional depth to the composition. Gill's masterful use of woodcut technique is evident through his portrayal of Achilles holding a mirrored shield above his head while delivering the fatal blow. This symbolic element emphasizes both Achilles' power and vanity. Part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this wood engraving exemplifies Gill's artistic prowess and attention to detail. His work effortlessly combines classical themes with modern aesthetics. While appreciating this remarkable print for its artistic merit, it is important not to overlook its historical significance or commercialize it without proper authorization. As an invaluable piece within Heritage Images' collection, it serves as a testament to Gill's talent and contributes to our understanding of ancient myths and legends. "
