EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history as we witness the awe-inspiring sight of a colossal lion being raised from its resting place. Taken from Charles Thomas Newton's renowned publication, "A History of Discoveries at Helicarnassus" this lithograph, published in 1862, transports us back to an era of exploration and archaeological marvels. The image showcases a team of dedicated archaeologists diligently working together to hoist the massive sculpture using a crane. The remains of this ancient Greek sculpture were unearthed during an excavation on the picturesque Greek coast near Bodrum, Turkey. As we observe this delicate process unfold before our eyes, it becomes evident that every effort is being made to preserve and protect this invaluable piece of antiquity. The engraving beautifully captures the grandeur and intricacy of the colossal lion while also highlighting the meticulous work carried out by these skilled archaeologists. Their expertise and dedication allow us to connect with civilizations long past and gain insight into their rich cultural heritage. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene, let us appreciate not only the physical strength required for such an undertaking but also the intellectual curiosity that drives these individuals to uncover hidden treasures buried beneath layers of time. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire to explore and understand our collective history.
