EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration of Sappho, the renowned ancient Greek poetess. Created by Pierre Gustave Eugene Staal in 1858, this engraving is part of Mary Cowden Clarke's World Noted Women collection. The image beautifully captures Sappho's essence as she gazes into the distance with an air of contemplation. Sappho, often referred to as the "Tenth Muse" was known for her lyrical poetry and musical talents. In this imagined portrait, she holds a lyre, symbolizing her mastery of music and verse. The three-quarter length composition allows us to appreciate her elegant posture and graceful demeanor. As one of history's most celebrated female poets, Sappho continues to inspire generations with her words that explore themes of love, desire, and beauty. Her connection to the island of Lesbos has also given rise to the term "lesbian" in reference to same-sex relationships between women. This print offers a glimpse into the world of classical literature while honoring Sappho's significant contributions as both a poetess and an influential figure in LGBTQ+ history. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and culture, allowing us to connect with remarkable individuals who have shaped our collective human experience.
